Hi, I would prefer to buy 6 of these if I can http://www.cnet.com/news/mozillas-25-firefox-os-its-real-and-it-works/ any ideas why they show 25 here and 170 on the dev phone? If this is dual sim phones, is mediatek phones? If it is, I happen to have some android mediatek phones lying around (unused) and would donate them to someone who want to try and flash en brick them :-) Kobus Kobus Wolvaardt S: +27 71 191 1499 W: +27 12 804 6724 www.quantsolutions.co.za On 4 June 2014 12:52, Dwayne Bailey <dw...@tr...> wrote: > On 29 May 2014 07:35, Kobus Wolvaardt <kob...@gm...> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > If they cost $170 each, I will buy one for myself and one other > developer. > > > > Excellent. > > I do know that when Mozilla sees traction in a community they usually > supply phones.
