I’ve been checking the page linked above every day hoping the bigger spec version of the FP5 (more ram+storage) with /e/os preinstalled will be back in stock, but for the past month or month and a half its remained out of stock.
I would like to make the switch as soon as possible, but I’m not sure when it will be back in stock. Just so I have a complete and well-informed picture of my options, would it be possible to have a tl;dr of the comparison between the preinstalled version and the stock version where I put /e/os on it myself? I’m talking about stuff like warranty voiding, issues with the install process, etc…
Thanks in advance!
p.s. Anyone have any idea when it will be back in stock? :p
I have no comparison but was in a similar boat when the FP5 launched. I was not sure how long my phone’s cracked display would last. I installed e/OS manually at the time (a beta release) and can’t remember any substantial issues. I can’t compare with a preinstalled version because I did not order that.
I think there’s a forum. Perhaps ask there if they know when they’ll be back in stock?
Yea I think thats a good idea. Do you think I should ask in the Fairphone forum, or the /e/os forum?
I would ask in the e/OS forum. The old thread was tagged with FP5. Scanning through the forum I also found a mention to mail support for a question related to reselling. You could reach out through https://murena.com/contact-us/ directly.
Thank you, ill do that ☺️
