ALCATEL ONE TOUCH Fire and ZTE Open Firefox OS smartphones go on sale through Movistar in Colombia and Venezuela Today
Today, Telefonica announced that the ALCATEL ONE TOUCH Fire and ZTE
Open devices will go on sale in Colombia and Venezuela. Both devices are
now available through Movistar stores and sales channels. Telefonica
also announced that Firefox OS devices will launch in Brazil in Q4.
Firefox OS marks a significant milestone for the Web, enabling for
the first time devices to be manufactured to totally open Web standards.
These launches come just one month after the launch of the first
Firefox OS smartphones in Spain, with Poland shortly after.
“Firefox OS powers the first smartphones built entirely on Web
technologies and will stimulate an inspiring new wave of innovation for
the Web,” says Jay Sullivan, Mozilla Chief Operating Officer. “We are
proud to work with partners like Telefonica which see the potential to
deliver an experience for first time smartphone users which will delight
them and really put the power of the Web in everyone’s hands.”
Commenting on the launches, Yotam Ben-Ami, Director of Open Web
Devices at Telefónica Digital said, “There is strong momentum building
behind Firefox OS as we bring more devices to more of our markets. But
this is just the beginning as the platform, content ecosystem and range
of devices continues to expand. There is an inherent imbalance in the
smartphone market at the moment and we believe that Firefox OS
represents the best opportunity to restore balance and provide a more
open smartphone experience to customers.”
