Firefox OS Powered Flame Available For Pre-order; Ships Globally

Mozilla has opened pre-order for Flame, its Firefox OS reference devices for $170 including free shipping." Specs are, of course, modest: a dual core 1.2GHz snapdragon, 1G of RAM, 8G of flash, an 854×480 4.5" screen, and a 5MP camera. Now, if only they would release a device with a keyboard.

  1. Price a bit steep for lowest end platform by jbridges · · Score: 1, Informative

    You can get a JIAYU G4S for around $180
    It has 1.7Ghz 8 Core CPU
    2GB of RAM
    1280x720 Display
    13 MP Camera

    So $170 for something with the specs of a under $100 phone seems lame.

    Is this legacy of a design taking too long to come to market?
