You try donating for a company that tried to buy, errr, "support" a
law (Lex Nokia), that sold Internet interception technology to a
totalitarian regime (Iran), and that uses coltan mined under inhumane
circumstances?
But then again, I couldn't give you a recommendation on a "clean"
phone company, because probably there is none.
For certain reasons, I even bought a new (so they got my money)
Samsung phone, although I know they not only develop weapons, but even
autonomous combat robots for the Korean border. :-(
Whenever possible (and feasible), I try to
- buy things used
- not buy things that mainly consist of a brand
- not buy things which have the implication that they or the purchase
of them harms society
(And yes, I act inconsistently at times)
I have to be pragmatic, though, due my limited resources: I try to
stick to this behavior, but if it costs too much money or nerves or
there are no usable alternatives, I don't.
For instance, this was the case for my Samsung phone: I wanted a long
stand-by time (the Samsung has over two months of stand-by time), and
the phone should be robust (shock-proof, water-proof or at least
-resistant), the user interface (including the haptics of the keys)
should be good enough, and it shouldn't be too expensive. The only
phone that fulfilled these (and a few other) critera was a Samsung
phone.
