Firefox had unveiled phones based on their Firefox OS at the beginning of this year, 2013. That was two months ago. Made by Geeksphone, the first Firefox OS based phones are now on sale, and can be bought worldwide for a decent price tag (albeit, still on the higher side for a new phone platform).
Firefox OS Keon and Peak
The Geeksphone Keon and Peak run the HTML5 powered Firefox OS by Mozilla. Aimed at the low end or entry level market segment, the Keon and Peak are impressive, and are decent for a new entrant altogether.
Keon
The Keon is priced at just €91 (plus taxes in our country).
Peak
The Peak is priced at €149 (plus taxes in our country).
You can order the phones from Geeksphone's online website from next week.
