The MDM9225 and MDM9625 chipsets are the only mobile broadband chipsets currently supportingcarrier aggregation that allow OEMs to build devices that can take full advantage of LTE Advanced networks.
One of the surprising factoids to come out of Mobile World Congress this year was the number of carrier networks supporting Firefox OS, the forthcoming web-based mobile platform from Mozilla.
The limited camera (a rather basic 5 megapixel autofocus unit with an LED flash) and a paltry 4GB of onboard storage (mitigated by the 8S supporting a MicroSD for memory expansion) point to a device that has been built to carrier specifications and a specific price point.
