Very impressive! I remember seeing a list of Firefox OS supporting companies some time ago. A BIG list...
Ubuntu Phone has this nice webpage for "Operator and OEM partners" [1], but do they actually have any? I doubted Firefox OS a lot more than Ubuntu Phone, but it seems I was wrong.

- Mikeb85 13y agoUnfortunately Canonical seems to do everything half-baked... I have more faith in Jolla/Sailfish... Mozilla has a history of actually changing the tech landscape, their language (Javascript) changed the web forever, Canonical has done nothing but split the Linux camp, and fail at making money. They also made one of the least stable distros available (I've had better luck with SUSE, Fedora, and Arch). Ubuntu phone will likely share the same fate as Ubuntu TV, Ubuntu on Android, and all their other half-baked ideas...
- seabrookmx 13y agoYou have had better stability with Arch? They're known as a bleeding edge distro for a reason, and frequently release updates that break previous installs. Not that this is bad - it's just how they roll. Also, Javascript is not Mozilla's language. It was originally invented at Netscape, and is a standardized language. Yes, Mozilla does great things with Javascript, but is no more Mozilla's language than it is Microsoft's.
