The impression that I got was that the reason that the phones had been abandoned was because of the version of Android that was supported on the devices and therefore the kernel version it can run and the drivers that are available? As no-one is going to add support for newer Android versions and kernels, the phone is dead. Is that incorrect?
Likewise the Fairphone 2 only supports Android 5, so is just as dead and will never support snaps or a snap based image. Is this not the case? This is certainly the impression that I have. Finally reading the big push that Canonical is giving the Fairphone 2, something not seen since the first phones launch, one can only conclude that this is the way forward and the reason for the silence. There will be no further phones or any other official or specific devices. Any future phones will be community ports to existing devices. Am I the only one getting that impression? Paul.
