The Firefox OS reference device,
the Flame is now available for
pre-order for $170.
To standardize the design, development, and testing of Firefox OS, Mozilla has partnered with a company called T2Mobile to manufacture, distribute, and update a Firefox OS reference phone called the Flame. Until now, there has been no "reference device" and the options for getting something through retail were limited.
The Flame will also be a great development and testing environment for third party app developers targeting Firefox OS and HTML5.
