Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with having the freedom of doing whatever you want to your phone and I totally agree that manufacturers should provide upgrades specially when there are security issues. My general point was that people somehow blame only the manufacturers or carriers and see Mozilla as "the good guys" who unfortunately can't do more for the users. They are partners and I didn't see many ads from manufacturers for their outdated devices but plenty from Mozilla for Firefox OS so they should make their deals in such a way that users are satisfied with the the product, in this case mostly the OS. In short, Mozilla made me buy this phone not ZTE. _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
