Linux and most operating systems only let super-user processes bind to ports < 1024. On your phone, b2g's main/parent process is running as root so it is able to bind to port 80. This is most likely your problem. I would suggest binding to port 8080 or something like that in this case. If you're not getting an error event when you call listen with port 80, you probably need to notice that you're running in the b2g simulator by sniffing the user agent or something equally hacky.
