No, no phones for purchasing yet. They will, most likely, be available in the first half of next year. There are a few devices to test on for developers (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Boot_to_Gecko/Firefox_OS_build_prerequisites?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Mozilla%2FBoot_to_Gecko%2FB2G_build_prerequisites https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Boot_to_Gec...), but none are optimal for usage at this moment.
When it comes to testing, r2d2b2g (https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/10/r2d2b2g-an-experimental-prototype-firefox-os-test-environment/ https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/10/r2d2b2g-an-experimental-pr...) is the best option for now (and tomorrow we at Mozilla will talk more about its future on Mozilla Hacks).
- bryanlarsen 14y agoI was under the impression that the Galaxy Nexus was better supported -- I just ordered a Nexus 4 and was hoping to flash Firefox OS onto my old Galaxy Nexus...

- rnyman 14y agoIt could work, but support for Nexus 4 would be very experimental. For that specific device, unless you really want an adventure, I'd recommend sticking to Android for now.
- zapnap 14y agoThanks for those links. Very useful resources. Looking forward to digging in this weekend, though I'm a little bummed that I can't easily slap this on a rooted older (3.x) android phone for testing :D.
- rnyman 14y agoSure thing! It could work on older models, but every model is different with different drivers as well, so tread carefully. :-)
- litmus 14y agoIt would be great if they targeted their initial sales towards cheaper markets/countries.
- rnyman 14y agoWhen devices are released, I hope they will be priced in an attractive manner.
