Thank you for doing God's work. I wish I'd bought a Firefox phone - I would have been burned, but some people need to be for us to get anywhere. I tried to make up for it by buying an early generation FrameWork laptop.

Edit: If you notice that this does not match with another comment I've made saying I wouldn't buy this because of the size, I can only offer as a defence that I'm also trying to vote with my wallet about the size of phones so I'm torn.

I think it's probably better on balance to have a small phone that does everything that it should perfectly, and live with the compromise of living with the walled garden, while still being small to easily hold and encourage me to go and use a more appropriate device than something I've pulled from my pocket for any task that requires staring at a screen.

Good news, it’s not too late, I still have 2 FX0s and 2 others (jk but if you’re in Tokyo maybe not jk)

Also not sure I was doing God’s work, the second app (PWA) I made for FirefoxOS was a Tinder clone using their undocumented API

And definitely no problem with people not buying, not everyone is a first adopter and that’s fine (I’m not either).

That said a slightly too large phone is probably not a high price to pay for appreciably more freedom, just my 2c
