Actually I bought a used Nexus-S in almost newish condition for even less that I paid for the crappy ZTE Open which I flashed dead because of the broken bootloader 2 days later and which catches dust because ZTE is still unwilling to help me (see my other postings about that).
The Nexus-S has imho some UI speed issues, but nothing that is really bad. Still, it seems to run faster than the ZTE Open which was even designed for FxOS. If you look more closely at the specs, the Alcatel One Touch Fire (which seems to be less risky to flash than the ZTE Open) costs almost 100 Euros and has the specs of Android phones in the 40-60 Euros league. I understand the issue with the power button, but some samsung devices (i.e. the Galaxy S3 mini) don't have sensor keys anymore but still a hardware home button - exactly what FxOS devices do! In my opinion, getting Samsung to deliver S3 minis with an orange battery cover would be MUCH more cost-effective than designing, testing and manufacturing a completely new phone like the Peak(+). And now keep in mind that both phones cost almost the same (around 200 euros) and compare the specs of the Peak+ (the Peak received pretty poor critics, especially for the camera) with the ones of the S3 Mini! _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
