I've been building my ZTE Open since pretty close to its initially release. I also use it as my daily device.

I bought a ZTE Open off of ebay back in April. My Nexus 4 broke in July. I have been using the ZTE Open as my daily device since.

I built from source (Boot2Gecko 1.4.0.0-prerelease) and, from my experience:

- Sometimes when I open an MMS message and click the back button, my phone reboots - If I open a content-heavy webpage or app the app will force close - Sometimes when I'm scrolling through the gallery app my phone freezes - Sometimes my handset earpiece doesn't work and I have to make calls on speakerphone - Sometimes the camera app freezes after taking a picture

Now, I'm not sure if these are issues with the ZTE Open's specs, the state of the build I flashed, or the method in which I flashed it, but those are my daily struggles using the phone.

That being said, as a phone (phone calls + sms + mms) it works, mostly.

I haven't been keeping it updated though. I should build the most recent and flash it soon.

  'Go Inside' for example, would dump in the middle of a gallery of images, making me think that I had missed the thumbnails at the beginning.
Complaining for the sake of complaining? When you hover over "Go Inside" it says "View all photos," so isn't that its exact intention? Plus what are you talking about "missed the thumbnails"?
