Today 10 years ago I got a Firefox OS phone - Jemmy

Today 10 years ago I went to Poland to buy a Phone with pre installed #Firefox OS on. The Phone was a Alcatel One, so very shitty. Two years later I installed Firefox OS on my Nexus 5 instead https://jeena.net/photos/111 [https://jeena.net/photos/111] [https://jeena.net/rails/active_storage/disk/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaDdDVG9JYTJWNVNTSnpkbUZ5YVdGdWRITXZPVEF3WmpSbFpXTXRORFE1WmkwMFptVXpMVGhrTlRBdE9XRm1NVFprWmpJeE9XSTBMemcxWlRrMU5URTBOVGxsWVRjM05qazJaVFEwWWpRNVpqZzFNVFkxT1dabVpqSmtNR00wT0dGak9UWmpaV1V6T0RnMU0yRXlNVFZqT0RRNE1XWTBPVFVHT2daRlZEb1FaR2x6Y0c5emFYUnBiMjVKSWxscGJteHBibVU3SUdacGJHVnVZVzFsUFNKSlRVZGZNakF4TlRBME1UaGZNakl6T0RBNUxtcHdaeUk3SUdacGJHVnVZVzFsS2oxVlZFWXRPQ2NuU1UxSFh6SXdNVFV3TkRFNFh6SXlNemd3T1M1cWNHY0dPd1pVT2hGamIyNTBaVzUwWDNSNWNHVkpJZzlwYldGblpTOXFjR1ZuQmpzR1ZEb1JjMlZ5ZG1salpWOXVZVzFsT2dwc2IyTmhiQT09IiwiZXhwIjoiMjAyMy0wOC0wN1QwMTo0Nzo1MC45MzZaIiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9rZXkifX0=--6635d4f1a1ac973f44f7c963654ba06fd72e4311/IMG_20150418_223809.jpg] It was a very good concept, but sadly rolled out on too shitty hardware so it never caught on.

I miss my nexus 6 shamu. I think that phone was the best that Google ever made even to this day.

I still have mine in a drawer. Sure newer phones are taller but that thing was fucken WIDE. It felt more like a small tablet. I don’t know if it’s right to say that Google made it though; really it was made by Motorola

Same here; I’ve got mine in a box along with my Pixel XL, Nexus 5, and Moto X (which feels like a tiny Nexus 6). I tried the Nexus 6 for a few hours about a year ago, and it was still surprisingly snappy. I have a Note 20 Ultra for my daily driver, and it still feels small compared to the girth of the Nexus 6. I feel like I could possibly use it today, which is one of the reasons I keep it around, in case of an emergency.
