Phone device undefined on Android and iOS
I ran into a problem while using the Phonegap platform. When trying to access any of the device strings, eg. device.name or device.platform, I get undefined. This happens on both iOS and Android. I have set Android permissions in both ApplicationManifest and config.
While researching the problem, I found that the problem might be that the functionality of the device will only be available after 1-3 seconds. I ran some test, set a timeout after 10 seconds, or even performed the action manually via onClick at different times (up to several minutes), but I keep getting undefined.
I tried window.device.name instead of device.name, same result.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Launching Phonegap 2.3.0 on iOS 6.0.2 and Android 4.1.2
code:
$('#deviceName').html('Name: ' + device.name);
$('#devicePlatform').html('Platform: ' + device.platform);
$('#devicePlatformVersion').html('Version: ' + device.version);

Your help is appreciated!

device.model might be what you want.
