Multiple media outlets are reporting that Spice Fire One is officially launched by Spice Mobiles (see: http://www.financialexpress.com/news/spice-launches-fire-one-mi-fx-1-smartphones-in-india-for-rs-2299-ties-up-with-snapdeal/1281641 and http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/hardware/spice-launches-indias-first-firefox-based-smartphone-at-rs-2299/articleshow/40690677.cms?curpg=2).
This is the first Firefox phone to be launched officially in India with an MRP of 2,299. With this price it easily beats out feature phones. I have not yet had a change to look at the device, but once it is available online I might be able to tell how good is the device.
Apart from the price the reason I am interested in Firefox is because it is totally opensource and community created as opposed to Android, which I classify as only 'partially open'. Jolla is also another interesting opensource platform, but their target is more mid-range rather than affordable segment.
Update: It seems the device will be available from snapdeal.com starting from 29th of August.
