I've never seen an advert claiming they are the 'first' to do anything. Their marketing puts it across to the consumer in such a way that the viewer feels its a fantastic idea, whether that's annoying or not. I don't really have opinions on their adverts or any other phone ads on TV because they are what they are. Adverts are annoying intervals in the middle of program's I enjoy watching. What does annoy me in everyday life is people who have mocked what I have chosen to use because they have issues with its brand. I've encountered this a number of times now and people need to get a flippin grip.

Firefox OS: Go away fanbois, fandroids - you wouldn't understand
Keon: It's not an iPhone replacement, but it's bloody good for €100
While it's fun to play with the Keon, it's not the hardware that’s special - it's Firefox OS. After living with the Keon for more than a month, I can safely say Mozilla's vision of a web-based mobile future isn't just appealing, it feels inevitable.
There are some rough edges, though. Firefox OS is definitely not the new and shiny you've been looking for, rather it's the new and quietly revolutionary. The Keon as is comes pretty close to offering everything you'd need in a mobile device, but it's still not likely to tempt iOS or Android fans to switch. And that's just fine with Mozilla. The target market for Firefox OS isn't current iOS or Android users, it's the rest of the world - people who don't yet have a mobile internet device at all.
But before Firefox OS takes the currently-not-connected world by storm, it first has to get developers interested, hence the Keon phone.
The Keon is a solidly built piece of hardware with decent, though not great, specs and a screen that looks nearly identical to the iPhone 3G/GS.
The Keon has a 3.5-inch HVGA screen, 1GHz single-core processor, 512MB RAM, 3MP camera and 1,580mAh battery with up to a day's battery life. By contrast, the more recent iPhone - the 5 - packs a 4-inch screen, 1.2GHz dual-core chip, 1GB memory, 8MP rear and 1.2MP front camera, and allows up to eight hours of usage on the battery.
In short, the Keon's not going to wow gadget enthusiasts but it's about what you'd expect from a €100 (approximately) device: a good phone with a few compromises to make it affordable. However, it's a perfectly capable phone for developers who need to test their apps.
And it is developers, not end users, that Mozilla wants for Firefox OS right now because, after all, the Firefox OS simulator will only gets you so far. Some things, like apps that take advantage of the accelerometer or user location, really need to be tested in the real world, which is what developers can do with the Keon.
The thing about familiar tools is you know what to do with them. Developers can make or break a platform but Mozilla has a distinct advantage over other platforms trying to break into the iOS-Android duopoly: the web.
Firefox OS apps are built using the same basic toolkit you'd use to build any website: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It's tempting to say if you can built a webpage you can build a Firefox OS app. Technically that's true: any webpage can be installed as a Firefox OS app even if its author has never heard of Firefox OS, but to take advantage of the unique attributes of a mobile device you'll need to go a little beyond a simple webpage."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

Then there is teh latest Kindle ad - with devices being used in the pool, put in the underseat storage of a moped etc. Try actually doing that, and then see if - when it gets wet or the screen cracks, and you explain why - they replace it under warranty.......Opinions are like ar5eholes, everyone has one.
