    Fair phone really shot themselves in the foot when they removed the headphone jack, especially given their mission statement.

      Yeah it was a real slap in the face. Especially when they debuted their branded Bluetooth headset at the same time. It’s like gee you guys just charge more money for the phone if you want to make more money. Don’t make me suffer

          It’s walking e-waste, in your ear! Not environmentally friendly. Ok sure, the phone needs a battery, but not everything needs a battery!
