<div>Hi all,</div><div><br></div><div>For information, a fairphone is a smartphone running Android. The idea behind the fairphone is that it's an ethically fair product (see <a href="https://thegoodshoppingguide.com/ethical-mobile-phones" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="enhancr_card_2695660789">Mobile Phone Ethical Comparison</a> ) which builds its phones avoiding mineral mining conflict, slave labour etc. That's why I got it. Have a look at it on <a href="https://www.fairphone.com/en/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="enhancr_card_2024991355">Fairphone</a></div><div>I have to say the camera isn't much good, but the rest of it is pretty good and at a fair price compared to some of the big players (Apple, Samsung etc)<br></div><div id="ydp4b528dd9enhancr_card_2024991355" class="ydp4b528dd9yahoo-link-enhancr-card ydp4b528dd9ymail-preserve-class ydp4b528dd9ymail-preserve-style" style="max-width:400px;font-family:Helvetica Neue, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" data-url="https://www.fairphone.com/en/" data-type="YENHANCER" data-size="MEDIUM" contenteditable="false"><a href="https://www.fairphone.com/en/" style="text-decoration:none !important;color:#000 !important" class="ydp4b528dd9yahoo-enhancr-cardlink" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><table class="ydp4b528dd9card-wrapper ydp4b528dd9yahoo-ignore-table" style="max-width:400px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td width="400"><table class="ydp4b528dd9card ydp4b528dd9yahoo-ignore-table" style="max-width:400px;border-width:1px;border-style:solid;border-color:rgb(224, 228, 233);border-radius:2px" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td class="ydp4b528dd9card-primary-image-cell" style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
