Meet Flame, Mozilla’s $170 Firefox OS phone for devs

Mozilla and its hardware partner T2Mobile have released a new Firefox OS reference device called Flame, available to pre-order at $170.

Mozilla might be focusing its efforts on delivering low-cost phones aimed at connecting the next billion people, but it's also nudging its handsets up the smartphone food chain, as it flagged up this February with the announcement of the Flame, whose specs plant it in the low to mid-tier range.
