Alcatel has announced the first smartphone to run on Mozilla's Firefox mobile operating system: the One Touch Fire.
The smartphone has a 3.5-inch HVGA TN display and a 3.2-megapixel camera. It's powered by a 1 GHz processor and 256 MB of RAM. Internal memory of 512 MB NAND (end-user memory is 180 MB) can be expanded to 32 GB through a microSD card.
A 1,400 mAh battery delivers talk time of 12 hours (2G), 7 hours (3G) and standby time of 400 hours (2G)/300 hours (3G). Other features include a light sensor, a proximity sensor, AGPS, G-sensor, Stereo FM and Bluetooth 3.0.
The first Firefox smartphone will launch through Deutshe Telecom this summer in Europe, with Poland the first region scheduled to receive it.

sanctoon It's seems like a sub $120 phone, if the App Store is any good by December, I'll get one for work, and my little girl can play with it. Like I'm doing with my $100 Galaxy y ATMReply -

Like I'm doing with my $100 Galaxy y ATMI'm sure the app market will grow very quickly, being open source and all i'm pretty sure the selection process to get to the store will be simpler and faster.Reply

southernshark Since I live and work in 3d world countries, I would consider buying one if the price is right (people rob us for phones fairly frequently). I already keep a 45 dollar "dumb phone" on me to use around town. I could handle laying out a 100 or so for a phone like this one. If it gets stolen, I'll get over it.Reply -
