Personally it was the only reason I ever gave Firefox OS a try.
ZTE started selling the ZTE Open[0] on ebay direct to buyers, super easy for me to obtain even in the US. The phone had miserable specs but still ran fairly well in my opinion, to the point of using it as my daily phone for months.
Eventually it was let down by most of the early Firefox phones not getting the updates to add in features like MMS support.
It was a sad day when they called it quits, and what remains in KaiOS just reminds me we could have had a strong competitor in the budget market.
