RichBartlett :donor:<p>I'm writing a review of my Fairphone 5, and I started with a quick summary of my smartphone/handheld computing back story and wow have I had a lot of gadgets. I've not got a direct record so I'm using photo metadata to refresh my memory but it starts with a Psion 3a, through various Windows Mobile phones to HTC Android, iPhone and finally something ethical, sustainable and repairable! I really hope this phone lasts the 8 years claimed life, that'd be amazing. <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/sustainabletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sustainabletech</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/fairphone5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fairphone5</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/windowsmobile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>windowsmobile</span></a></p>
