Pre-orders start today for Flame, the Firefox OS developer phone
A lot of the misgivings most developers seem to have in this thread have to do with the physical hardware specs. Which I hate to use this term but this is a side effect of "1st world privilege". FireFoxOS/Phones were designed for emerging markets [1]. In the West dropping $500+ USD on a smartphone is not uncommon (Or to sell retail phones for this price). While in 'emerging markets' like China/India/Brazil/etc. 500 dollars can be 4-6 months worth of rent [2].<p>[1] FireFoxOS presentation at mobile conference circa 2013<p>[2] numbeo.com
