Look FSF. If you want this to work you cannot just copy fairphones design and pricing. I’ll be honest IDK how anyone can justify spending more than 200$ on a phone especially in this economy but the privacy nerds seem to always be in good enough financial conditions no matter what they’ll happily pay 800$ for a 5 year old phone with hard kill switches and modular parts.
I just can’t do it. I don’t have 800$ in play money to spend on a nerd phone. If you really want to help people you need to make some deals and mass produce this shit on the cheap. IDC if its got the build quality of a tracphone from walmart, find a way to bring those priced down to something the average person can actually consider.

I agree with you, I think there is a huge market for cheap functional smartphones that just gets the day-to-day things done.
Mass production comes after you can make a low volume high end niche product.
