512mb of RAM? My S3 is slow with 1gb :/ This phone is not what I was expecting.
Its not running Android so the comparison is pointless. Dare say Firefox runs very well on 512mb ram. Once Android did too.Quote:

EDIT: just had a quick play with the firefox simulator, and I reckon it might do everything I want in a smartphone. At ~ £100, I'm very tempted...
I'll be honest, I've always disliked android, its bulky, slow and I've not see any code from it that made me think hmm, clever!. The fact an 800mhz device that is years old gives a snappier consistent performance than my S3 really doesn't help (until you run a game, browse the web, then the s3 shines!).
I don't like the Apple effect of having really expensive smartphones, I think having some proper competition down at the lower end is a really good thing. I'm half tempted to buy one just to play.
Definitely welcome more competition but android's tie ins with gmail, google calendar, contacts, maps, google drive, music etc etc are just so significant. I just can't see (relatively) tiny Mozilla being able to compete with such heavy weight apps for a very long time...
