I will absolutely buy this one but only my secondary smartphone. Great phone.Far better than feature phone on this segment.More apps(not as GP Store or app store)and almost polished UI(Don't think like Steve Jobs!! because iOS is unmatched still)I am a apple lover ( its taste better than banana!! ;-).There is nothing to worry for Apple,Microsoft and Google(I am not sure).May be it's a ultra low end android smart phone killer. THANK YOU MOZILLA FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL GECKO. We are waiting for its tablet version. I am just waiting for my new phone;-)

I need it u... moreWhile there is progress, the phone itself has not been finalized, at least from the announcements made at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. So, relax and be sure it will get to Nigeria. Major targets would be emerging markets anyway.

                                  according to engaget, "The heart of the effort is the SC6821, a Cortex A5-based chipset that supports WCDMA and EDGE networks, but not LTE. The platform includes WiFi, Bluetooth, cameras and FM radio, though touchscreen support appears to top out at 3.5-inch HVGA panels"

                                    One of features most people asking in emerging market is Bluetooth file transfer, missing that will scale down sales of those devices

                                        25$ nice, sure I'll buy it. Also there is no spy crap from google/apple. Mozilla may be a real alternative
