How does it compare to the $100 retail iPhones and Android phones you've used?
Even if you buy a cheap plane ticket from Ryanair, you’re allowed to complain if only one of the two engines work.

He may have been asking a genuine question. Given the current thread is about how much you can do for very little money, comparing how a $100 Firefox OS device to a $100 Android one is perfectly valid (though not entirely fair as one of the two is still not officially production ready).

True - but if you buy a ticket on a jetliner with only one engine working (and it says it on the box), people might be curious as to how it compares to the other airlines that also sell tickets on one engine jets…
We'll see how "good" it is. I'm very skeptical about a Javascript-heavy OS being as good as an Android one on the same hardware. If all things are equal, it shouldn't be. However, I suppose Firefox OS will be more "feature-free" in the beginning, and those HTML5 apps will be a lot simpler than the typical native app, and these two things might compensate for the slower speed of Javascript. We'll see.

I don’t see how it could be anything but snark, as there are no unsubsidized $100 iPhones.
But the cheap Firefox OS device to cheap Android device is still a valid comparison that I for one would be interested to see played out.
Interesting, and I'm hopeful. Though I'm not so sure about what he's saying about Android phones from China. I've bought some cheap Chinese 'smartphones' before and they were unusably bad. Perhaps there are better, Android based, models around nowadays.
What did you buy? And from where? Just looked at dx.com and they have a lot.. but not too many with android 4
