Delivery Date now set for December 2013
Vandaag update gekregen wanneer m'n fairphone waarschijnlijk geleverd gaat worden. December zoals het eruit ziet.
Blog.
Copy/paste uit e-mail over timeline:
JUNE/JULY
Contracts - Once we had raised the money for the down payment through the crowdfunding campaign (thank you!), we needed another month to finalize the terms for cooperation with our production partner A’Hong. As soon as these were formalized, the down payment was transferred.
Engineering and Design Fairphone - While our production partner did significant preparatory work on engineering and design, the money from the down payment was needed to start ordering components and do the last engineering for the early prototypes.
JULY/AUGUST
Prototyping - We spent July and August going back and forth between Amsterdam and Chongqing, China, tweaking and testing the first early prototypes.
SEPTEMBER
Certification and testing of prototypes - This week (yay!) the first prototypes arrived in Amsterdam and will go to testing facilities and labs across the world. To bring the phone to market, we must obtain certifications such as CE, ROHS, REACH, and GCF.
OCTOBER/NOVEMBER/DECEMBER
Mass production - Once we get a "go!" from the labs, we can start with mass production.
Shipment and distribution - After the three weeks that are needed for mass production (circuit board manufacturing and assembly), the phones will be shipped to the Netherlands from where they will be distributed to your individual addresses across Europe.

Ben heel benieuwd wanneer 'ie komt!
Edit: wie heeft nog meer een Fairphone gekocht? Ben wel benieuwd hoeveel Tweakers hierin mee zijn gegaan.
