Trying to base a phone on a web browser is what went wrong.

It offered exactly zero real-world benefits over Android/iPhone.

Absolutely no vision. At least Ubuntu tries to do something different, but this was just a money sink.

They didn't think it through. I have that phone, and the browser is as barebones as can be. You have to install an app to copy/paste text, and even that only works if it's in an input field! Home screen isn't customizable either. This is without talking about the obvious disadvantages all third-options suffer from.

Mozilla overreaching. This is what happens when you try to compete with Google, Apple and Microsoft and you're a software dev with one or two successful products.

Exactly. And in this process they scuttled the email client which was far far more useful than yet another cell phone.

I quite like this device. It's my daily driver at the moment, running Android of course.

I found some of the limitations of non-privileged apps in FxOS to be frustrating.
