I recently got my hands on a Fairphone, and it must be said that this thing precisely highlights my distaste for design trends in phones. So much of what makes this "worse" than competitors are exactly the reasons I like it. Being heavier and slightly bulkier are GOOD things - it's easier to hold, and my clumsy arse is less likely to drop the damn thing And I'll happily trade water/dust/badvibes proofing for a removable battery (and repairability) any day of the week
