Just did a beta upgrade of my Motorola Backflip mb300, to Android 2.1, after a year of waiting I immediately downloaded and installed FFm, it installed successfully, but when I try to open it, it says "device does not meet minimum requirements". I'm sorry but I don't know hardware specifics on the phone, much less any phone. But the only requirement I really saw for FFm was Android 2.0 and above, and this is 2.1 (beta). Could the problem be in the beta phase(?), doesn't seem likely since other apps for 2.0 and above work fine? Any ideas will be appreciated. If there is a hardware issue, any idea if there is an update coming that will work with this phone? Please say it will work.

The experimental ARMv6 nightly builds may work with the Motorola Backfilp, for details see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android#System_Requirements

Experimental nightly builds are not an option on my Motorola Backflip since Motorola and AT&T have crippled the phone and the OS. They will not allow anything to be installed outside of the Android Market. Any update on this issue?
