I used a Keon as my only phone for summer 2013 – summer 2014. Basic apps were good, but — ironically for a web-based phone — the browsing experience was my biggest negative. Not the actual page layout/etc. — that is just Gecko and worked fine if you didn't try to open too many tabs. The problem was the browser lacked basic features like find in page, sync, and adding search engines.
I switched to a Moto E, and I think it actually lags a little more for things like opening the clock app, but I'm basically addicted to Fennec's reader view and sync.
(The "system browser" in FxOS 3.0 is also a major regression on tab UX IMO.)
- hsivonen 11y agoI think the system browser in 3.x is a significant UX improvement. The old browser app always felt like trying to impose an Android-like world-view on a system where the system was supposed to be a browser all along.
- abrowne 11y agoI get that and thought I would like it, but I guess I still use the (web) apps and the web browser quite differently. I hope further refinements change my mind! More specifically, I tend to open and close a lot of tabs, which involves more steps now, and I want new tabs to open in the background.
