I don't get it, what's the point in having removable back, screws, screwdrivers if you cannot remove and replace the parts.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

I've been planning on getting a fairphone next, and didn't know they had a competitor, and then after watching the review realized they didn't have a competitor.

goes to show how it only needs to look rugged and repairable

features with a high degree of customizability - you can swap out the back cover, and also attach things like a lanyard.

Ooooh, a lanyard strap... That's the sort of right to repair we've all been after.

It's so silly. The back is removable with just a couple of standard screws. But the battery isn't replaceable.

Nothing phone is such a fucking joke there are 0 replacement parts available. I broke my camera a few weeks after I got my nothing phone 2 and your only option is to ship the phone to the UK. The advertise as consumer friendly but that couldn't be further from the truth.

They’re consumer friendly…. They’re all smiles when you buy the phone….

[–] HoustonHenry@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

A little too friendly, wouldencha say, Scoob?

I was kinda hoping a modular phone would have a headphone jack module of some sort.

Non-removable battery and lanyard strap is enough I guess...
