The price to pay up-front for the Fairphone is higher than the average for same class of phone (*), but on the other side if in future it will be possible to replace only the broken components or upgrade the obsoleted ones, that may allow some savings.
(*) although the comparison should not be done with megafactories that are churning out millions of phones, at unknown labour conditions.

No, it isn't. But considering all the HW issues people are having I don't see this as such a bad thing. After all, jolla phone is cheap made in PRC piece of HW. We don't like/want it because of premimum feel of golden frame that adds nothing to the device anyway and one will throw it away after contracts expire. We want sailfish to go on, all HW today is POS anyway.
If Intex can leave sailfish as is and without bloatware and some custom launcher I'm fine with it and I will gladly buy one.

I sure hope Intex will not f'up the phone with only 1GB of ram or with a <300ppi screen. I almost got myself a Z5 Compact, but decided to hold out for a while if Saarnio's promises come true.

You're paying about twice the price of a 2 year old Sony Z3 for slightly worse specs so it's fairly obvious there's a whole bunch of overheads that their model imposes.
