RAM - 128MB
OS - Firefox OS
Storage - 46MB

yup got the mail..... a very subtle start as compared against the flagship beasts in the market....
 
Specs aren't everything.. its the experience which matters. Remember older smartphones with shitty specifications. but they still worked because they offered good functionality and features.
 
Just for curiosity I bought this. Was delivered ~45mins back. IMO, except for screen resolution, its not that bad. UI is quite fast. Much better than what some reviews say. I thought I had a micro SD but looks like ive lost it. Will have to wait a day or two get test this with more mem. I am hoping this works with larger cards (specs say max 4GB).

If the AQ and battery is decent , I will use this for jogs/walks/car. Else will be gifted away.

Nice. A mini review would be good. However, im curious why dint u wait for the spice one which has 256 mb ram and a front cam as well.
 
@srkmish - Are you sure Mi Fx 1 has 256mb? I bought this on 27th or 28th and there was hardly any info on it.

One more thing is I might not use it as a phone :). As said above, I just bought it out of curiosity. The differences I saw was front cam and 1400mah batt. I dont need the cam and maybe 150mah would have added to battery life a bit.

Update - Had the first crash. Restarted and saw that batt had drained by 12%. Battery is down to 48% from ~1PM.
Usage -
Played music (got a 512mb card) ~3.5hr
Explored apps ~20mins
My wife did the same ~20mins

Display - ~40% brightness
volume - ~50%

How is the battery life with normal usage?
 
@Mechanic Yet to try this out as a phone. Will probably do that over the weekend. Battery lasted ~23hours with low - moderate use.

@srkmish not that good. I would say somewhere between bad - average. Would have to set the volume to 70%+ for earphones and both high and low ends are clipped. Sounds like Im listening to bajans.
EDIT: It could also be me. Dont have anyhting other than a PL30 to test with. And I dont like PL30 itself.

1 +ve thing - It can read 16gb SD cards (but no use due to sound quality). Yet to transfer files over. Will update on this tonight.

One more update - This is the 2nd instance. The phone would have switched off randomly. And it cannot be switched back on using the button. I have to remove the battery, put it back again and then switch it on. Not looking good.

@srkmish I have been using it just as a mp3 player in aeroplane mode. I have to say that the battery life is pretty good. I charged it last friday and was playing music whenever I was driving (8+ hours), just checked the battery and its showing 67%. Still need to test it as a phone. Hopefully will do that this weekend.
