My Opinion : Beside the latest chipset in Grand Memo, nothing interesting. Well, it is not bad actually it just that, how will it to compare with current competitor? Of course I am interested to know how the latest and fastest Snapdragon 800 chipset perform. ZTE Open seem pretty low end spec. But it doesn't matter as long as it can handle the OS and apps smoothly without lag.

My Opinion : Finally Firefox OS! This will allowed more HTML 5 programmer to developed more interesting apps for it. Though the GeekPhone Peak spec doesn't seem high compare with current competitor, mainly Android and Apple, but for my personal reference as long as it run smoothly and do the job I need, so why not? Even until now I am still using dual core phone :P
