Just as a counterpoint, I regularly saw Firefox os+phone ads on giant billboards in central Warsaw.
If there was to be any market interest, I thought their targeting and marketing efforts like this were pretty spot-on.
- gedrap 11y agoOh yeah, I've read about them targeting some specific countries (Spain, Brazil, Poland, etc). So it might be that the parent commentator lives elsewhere and didn't get targeted :)
- mahouse 11y agoTelefónica, the major carrier in Spain, sold some Firefox OS phones years ago under the promise that there would be a version of WhatsApp for Firefox OS soon. That never happened. They eventually stopped selling them. (Not implying there is any correlation between those two last facts.)
- niutech 11y agoThere is Whatsapp client Loqui IM.
- S4M 11y agoI live in Spain, but never saw someone using a Firefox OS phone there.
- niutech 11y agoThey were targeting developing countries like Central Eu, South Am, Asia, rather than North Am. The market there is huge. I live in Poland and I was lucky that I could easily find a cheap FxOS phone, which actually I am using now. This is the only truly private phone available here. It is a pity that Mozilla abandoned it. Bigger pity is that people do not give a sht about their privacy and open standards.
