Ah. I recently bought a used iPhone 3GS for $40 on eBay because my old Motorola Atrix's screen is sort of broken.
I didn't want to get a new phone until I have a budget. I thought about getting ZTE Open but two things pushes me away from FxOS.
1. ZTE Open's spec is many times weaker than my Atrix's. I already find Atrix slow. Spending $70 on a phone in that spec is still not affordable for me.
2. The FxOS ecosystem is still a lot smaller than iOS and Android. I know it is new but that a number of popular apps (Instagram, Gmail, GMap) are not yet available on Mozilla Marketplace.
I understand that the initial launch is targeting at countries where smartphone usage is low. But what people need is a phone not buggy and laggy.
I want to see a phone with powerful spec so #1 goes away. I can then still rely on the web interface to do #2, provided that the phone is powerful enough so I won't lag while opening multiple web pages!
I like FireFox OS and I really want to own one, but right now I am going with iOS (I will avoid Android) given how rock solid iOS is in my experience.
Keep up the good work, FxOS team.
