The reception of pre-orders on the Flame dev-smartphone under Firefox OS has begun

The reference smartphone on the operating system Firefox OS is available for pre-order for $ 170, with free shipping to all countries of the world, except Japan.

The Flame model was announced in February 2014 as an exemplary device to demonstrate the standard design, development and testing of the free operating system Firefox OS. Then Mozilla joined forces with T2Mobile to produce a batch of smartphones. Until now, there was no “reference” device on which applications can be tested.

Since the device was designed for developers, Mozilla asked T2Mobile to keep the price as low as possible.

Flame is great for testing HTML5 applications, including other Firefox OS devices, which will be released later this year. It has 1 GB of RAM installed, but programmatically, you can reduce the amount of available memory to 256 MB to emulate the work of other models.

The phone is completely free and is not tied to the network or to the bootloader. Any software and SIM card of any operator is installed on it. Acceptance of orders will last from May 27 to June 10. Receipt of the parcel will have to wait about four weeks.
