Use Cases

• In general, Tom is familiar with "settings" so he knows he should be able to set his preferences for many basic functions
• Because B2G's settings are broken out into categories, it's easy for Tom to find what he needs to change
• Tom has the ability to tweak the following categories (names are just examples):
  • Device settings
  • Network settings
  • System settings
  • User account settings
• Tom's Persona account stores all of his data in the Mozilla cloud - his phone is 'smart' and stores the most important data:
  • Contacts
  • Apps (Core + 3rd party)
    • Email settings
    • Calendar settings
    • SMS DB
    • Photos
    • Browser settings/data
  • Phone settings
  • Permissions (per app/client)
  • Browser data
