Firefox OS continues to disappoint me (As it did when I bought first Firefox mobile a year back). A Blog post on Growth with absolutely no numbers is disingenuous (Even if you are open source company).
I did a little investigation since Firefox Blogpost provided where the devices are available (For India at least):
1. ALCATEL ONETOUCH: Available on Flipkart.com . Exactly one person rated.
Compare them with high priced Alcatel OneTouch devices that use Android:

2. Spice Fire One Mi available on Snapdeal. 60 People rated and 14 people wrote reviews. Comparing this with other products I would think total sales are few thousands for the device.

3. Cloud FX on Snapdeal and Intex Technologies channels. Most Likely is the device with biggest sales in India for firefox os. 3682 Ratings and 880 Reviews. 2.75 rating with 1 Star rating out numbering any other.

Worst of all none of the Phones are 25$. They are atleast $30+.
99% of times when someone doesn't provide numbers and claim growth, they are trying to hide a failure. Disappointed that Mozilla is not being open.
