I wonder if you'll be able to put Firefox OS on these. I've been wanting to play with that OS but the current devices offered for it are very underwhelming to try and push its limits.

It's an unlocked bootloader, assuming you can get the needed device drivers installed into FF OS I don't see why you wouldn't.

  My guess is if that's the case, and this device will be widespread and popular overseas, they will specifically target it.

  Big assumption.

I have a ZTE Open and a Geeksphone. The 1.1 release was a huge upgrade, but they still have some ways to go. There are problems with the HTML5 Canvas element and positioning DOM nodes/scrolling.

  I have a ZTE Open as well. Did they release 1.1 for it? I thought they didn't.

    In my experience, it's not straightforward. First you need to install an update from ZTE to unlock fastboot. Then you'll need to compile 1.1 on your own, and flash it yourself. I'm hoping ZTE releases an OTA update, but I'm not holding my breath.

  How do you get the 1.1 update for the ZTE Open? Does it need to be downloaded over the air, i.e., won't work if you're using the Open with wifi only?
