enviroment friendly development for v2?

[Oleg L. Sverdlov]

All this is good.
a) how the company (FIC) is supposed to make a profit by manufacturing 
less phones?
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)?

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

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