Please do not order Nexus 4 devices except if you are working on JellyBean-related platform work. Its simply not a good abstraction of the kind of device we are targeting. If you are concerned about what device to use, please talk to your manager. If you don't work for Mozilla, we are trying to make sure shipping devices from ZTE and TCL are easily available for anyone to buy cheaply (eBay), and we will try to keep them up-to-date with FFOS for quite some time.

There have been rumblings of the unagi devices no longer being supported in the near future for 1.2 work. There are a few people within and without Mozilla that only have an unagi devices. What devices are suggested for people that currently have unagi devices? This is my current understanding, but it has been pieced together, hoping to get confirmation of this guidance: 1) A developer doing daily gaia development: try to get a hamachi. You need a phone that is close to what is shipping for making sure changes do not affect performance. Caveat seems to be that they may be hard to get. 2) A developer that wants to start making apps for firefoxos: the nexus 4 may be an option. It could also be used for main gaia work, but note: while the build settings for nexus 4 try to throttle it to look more like the kinds of devices that may ship in the near term, it is not an exact match, so use with caution. I have ordered a Nexus 4 as backstop to make sure I can keep working in case my unagi stops working, but I believe I should also acquire a more realistic shipping device for any performance work. To me that implies hamachi, but it will be good to know if there are other options.
