Firefox devices - smartphone etc...
Why have you abandoned the US market? There are currently no Firefox is devices for US consumers that overwhelmingly support Firefox and Mozilla on everything. We have been waiting for years now. With all the hype for all the products Mozilla is a part its really not helping to deny us the opportunity to fully support Mozilla by purchasing the products that come with Firefox is. Don't u think?

HI crouchingsamurai, Thank you for your enthusiasm. Currently the phones available to the US are the ZTE Open C and the Flame device that can be purchased online. *https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/F.../Flame Check it out and leave feedback at input.mozilla.org.

This does not solve my problem. It says right on the webpage that the Flame is not longer for Sale. "Sales have come to an end..." So where can you purchase a Firefox OS smartphone?
Where can I purchase a Firefox OS smartphone like the flame in the US? I want one with dual sim to play around with and use on in many ways and help where I can with getting Firefox to work with vendors to get Firefox OS phones released in the USA. :)
I apologize, I stand corrected on this. I currently do not have an ETA for when Firefox OS is coming again to the US. I do know however that there are some third party projects that have installed FIrefox OS on other devices that are sold in the US, however I am not an expert on how this is done.
Thanks guigs2.
Moving forward.
Does anyone know FOR SURE that Firefox OS smart phones are being released again for USA testers AND developers AND people who want to help Mozilla make an awesome smart phone AND you know when they are coming on sale (link) AND you know where to purchase them (awesome), could you please send me the link?
Thx
I know that on eBay it's avalaible the ZTE Open
Since smartphones appear to be refreshed about every 6 to 12 months it's probably safe to assume that Mozilla is no actively pursuing the market otherwise there would be new phones & tablets being introduced, which there is not. Even the so-called Firefox OS televisions by Panasonic are unavailable. The talk has been circulating for months on the CX700 line but nothing in stores and all the articles are refreshed from March. :(
Where can I buy a smartphone with Firefox OS in the USA?
Try with Amazon or Ebay.
