All this is good.<br>
a) how the company (FIC) is supposed to make a profit by manufacturing
less phones?<br>
b) let's say my phone will last 10 years . How can I be sure that my
cellular provider will use the same technology for many years (with
only software upgrades required)?<br>

There are companies that create sell refurbished phones to 3rd world
countries for cheap, so the situation is not grim enough.<br>

The touchscreen has a digitizer, and it's still very unreliable for
long-term usage. I wonder if FIC will do it right.<br>

what about sinicicant longer livetime (5-10 years) than normal smart phones?
