Today 10 years ago I got a Firefox OS phone

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.

It was a very good concept, but sadly rolled out on too shitty hardware so it never caught on.

What is this? A phone for ants?

I remember a time when all of the companies were striving to make cell phones as small as possible. But as soon as touch screens came out that trend reversed.

When we realized we could watch porn on them.

The nexus 5 was peak size for a phone imo, it's a nightmare trying to find a decent 5" phone nowadays.

Nexus 5 was just peak EVERYTHING for that time. Badass hardware, badass display, size, design, everything about it was amazing even if it had no fingerprint sensor until the Nexus 5X and 6P.

God I miss when they made phones with love.

People have been praising some smallish Asus thing lately

Reminds me of the original 3.5” iPhone. Absolutely tiny by todays standards.
