Finally got my hands on a Firefox OS Geeksphone (Peak) - http://www.geeksphone.com/ …bring on the web-based app UX! :)
@bryanrieger (It consistently did the latter. Low point was losing an hour in travel time due to train site being unusable on it.)

@aral but was that really a problem with the device or simply a (poor design) problem with the train site? -
@bryanrieger It was a problem with the experience. What’s a site? My phone was broken. -
@aral what version of B2G OS were you using? -
@bryanrieger Latest. Currently on Peak, I get ‘you are running the latest version’ when I go to update. -
@aral hmm… National Rail site just crashed the device - performance on 'non-mobile optimised' sites is pretty dismal. :( -
@bryanrieger When I tried it, I couldn’t scroll down to submit the journey planner form. -
@aral yeah, I see your point - this thing really needs 'mobile optimised experiences' or it falls over …and this is the higher-end one?! -
@bryanrieger Yep. Mozilla should be shouting their Human Interface Guidelines for FirefoxOS from the rooftops. - 2 more replies

@aral your expectations are that *any* site works on a device - sadly with lower-end devices many sites are simply not designed for them. -
@bryanrieger My expectation is that my device empowers me. I don’t care how the transmission in my car works as long as it gets me home.
