I assume you are all already familiar with Firefox and Mozilla, right? What about if I told you that you can have a Firefox phone that frees developers, operators and consumers from the constraints of existing closed ecosystems by using the Web as the platform for all functionality and applications?
Three words: “HTML5, CSS, Javascript” and booom!
ZTE today announced that sales of the ZTE Open Firefox OS phone will start soon on the ZTE store on eBay US and UK. Recently launched with Telefónica in Spain, Venezuela and Colombia, the ZTE Open will now be available for the first time in Orange priced at $79.99 (£59.99) and will be unlocked to allow use on all mobile networks.
The global availability of the ZTE Open through eBay means that more consumers worldwide are now able, for the first time, to buy an affordable smartphone based entirely on open web standards.
