Looks nice and works pretty fast but the text is to small for me and my glasses... ;-)

a little review about this OS:

- the LED notifications don't work
- the ringtone volume and the in call volume are low
- u cannot use camera or gallery if u don't have a sd card
- the font of the UI is too small
- the internet via APN doesn't work. I couldn't set up the APN. but the internet via WIFI works.

except all that it has a nice UI and I think it has great potential. now it is not mature but I think that in the future a lot of phones will have this OS.
it looks nice and it is minimalistic.

Mobile data works for me.

Yep, only the home button is meant to work.

and holding down the home button you can close the applications.

Very interesting Dazzozo - this is a project I've been watching since it was announced - and it shows a basicness to our hardware which is gratifying to know!

[blatny93]

And it's actually very attractive, plain and simple if a bit raw - it's also obviously economical on resources; as long as Mozilla doesn't attempt to pile complexity upon it this could be a very important step forward, not just for us, but for the phone makers themselves - as we know the other OS's have their limitations - the complexity and resource hunger of Android, the proprietorianess of IOS, the death of Symbian etc - as usual, there are many who are decrying this already but I expect I am right in thinking this will have a pretty big future.

Battery stats are screwd  - lol!

[blatny93]

And camera is black and white - gallery looks good at first but reminds of s60 with the the time it takes to load, though once it does it displays pictures beautifully, capturing all the detail. It can't read the battery state, to correct myself but is that hardware, our hardware, specific? So if you leave it to sleep to long it turns itself off because it thinks the battery is dead! The web is excellent - better than any I've used. I'll send a report to Mozilla.

It's using HERE ™ - Nokia maps! Scrap that about the web - it became unresponsive!

But what about the applications for this OS?

[stel2596]

It takes a huge amount of perseverance to crank a build out for this

Could you please share any instructions on building this?
