In my opinion, it's a race between FirefoxOS phones and Ubuntu phones as to who gets 4G first. I've been using FirefoxOS phones for a while (Open, Open C and now Flame) but I'm missing the 4G connection, and that may well be what tempts me away from FirefoxOS.

The Meizu MX4 is expected to be released to Europe pretty soon. It has 4G. Obviously, it will be significantly more expensive than the E5.

I'm using an Xperia Z3 Compact flashed with Firefox OS and can report that the 4G radios work perfectly. :)

Are there instructions for that device anywhere?

It's in the mainline B2G repo, so you should be able to follow the instructions at https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/b2g to get a build. Use `./configure.sh aries` to configure for the Z3C. Other supported devices include the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5.

Nice, thanks. I knew the Nexus devices were supported, but I prefer smaller phones.

That's great news, thanks! You may well have just changed my summer.
