You are right, but FFOS 1.1 can't compete with actual feature phones. I will explain why I think so. But first, I'm a Mozillan, a Webdeveloper and FFOS lover.

My iPhone broke a month ago, so I started using my Alcatel One Touch Fire. I used, and use, it as my main phone by now. Things happened till now:
The clock app crashed over night. So no alarm in the morning. I woke up to late, realized it and started the clock app again. Alarm did sound - but way to late.
The "phone call" app crashes many times. Sometimes it crashes after the third ring tone, some times it crashes during a call. Bad.
email doesn't really work with iCloud. The mail app pulled all emails onetime, and that's it. Can't get any new email. If I send a mail, sometimes the text content arrives as mime.txt attachment.
Contacts. I have many contacts. If I open the contacts app to get a phone number, it seems to load async. I scroll down (laggy), find the contact, tap it and it opens the wrong one. Because a second before it tapped, it loaded more contacts.
SMS. I get 5 SMS from one friend... and 5 notifications. To hide them, I had to open the notification center 5 times, tap a notification 5 times and close the SMS app 5 times.
So FFOS isn't better than any feature phone I know. I can suggest every Mozilla Rep to use it for one month as your main phone. Give your high end phone your girlfriend. And use a ZTE or Alcatel, no geeks phone! They have more memory!
It's like Android and iOS the early days. Doesn't make much fun to use it by now. But it will get better over time.
