Was too curious not to buy one. The spec is lower mid range....(top spec two years ago)....and it's Dual-SIM.

The frequencies are all good to go for NZ, Australia, Europe or North America. No LTE.

Cheap as chips.

And now Firefox OS is no more...

How did you go using the Flame?

timmmay: Can you install Android? FlameOS has burned up...

The phone is an Alcatel One Touch....so perhaps if you can get ROM for that phone it will work? I don't know.

I have a Flame. Yes you can install Android on it. You can also still install Firefox OS from source. It was shaping up to be a nice OS. Maybe it'll remain maintained via the community.
