Fame OS Mozilla smartphone is available for pre-order

So Arnaud Montebourg dream of a specifically French operating system, existing alternative mobile OS progress in their development, in the shadow of giants like Google, Apple or Microsoft. Among these alternative OS, there Mozilla Firefox OS. And it has just made ​​available its smartphone Flame, which presents itself as a reference product for the operating system. Unlike Canonical who wanted to see large , Mozilla has wanted more modest.

Firefox OS is already used by many manufacturers, to mention only Geeksphone and ZTE . But Flame is meant to be a tool for developers and, as I said, a reference product. It was manufactured by a subcontractor named T2Mobile and Mozilla said they have ensured that the price is affordable. A Flame costs $ 170 preorder and shipping is free worldwide. The wait would be about 4 weeks.

As Firefox OS is aimed at emerging markets and Mozilla wanted to offer something affordable, Flame has very reasonable specifications, if not modest. One of its features is that it has a variable RAM memory up to 1 GB, so that developers can simulate the performance of different smartphones already using Firefox OS.
