I was searching around for FireFox OS phones, and I stumbled upon this phone. It regularly comes with just FireFox OS installed, but I found a few sellers on Ebay selling it with both FireFox OS AND Android 4.4 KikKat installed onto it. The sellers both have very high reps on Ebay and seems to have good reviews.

I don't have any money as of right now to buy this, so I can't tell you if it actually comes with both installed, but I'm going to trust them and assume that both FireFox OS and Android are installed onto it. Whenever I can get my hands on this, I'll let you know what I think.

 

Either way, here are the 2 Ebay listings that I found for the ZTE Open C that come with both FireFox OS and Android installed.

 

Seller 1: http://www.ebay.com/itm/eBay-Exclusive-ZTE-OPEN-C-Dual-Core-Dual-OS-Firefox-1-3-Android-4-4-Smartphone-/111326263156?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item19eb8ff774

Seller 2: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unlocked-ZTE-OPEN-C-Firefox-OS-Android-4-4-KitKat-3G-Smartphone-AT-T-T-Mobile-US-/360929183586?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item54090e4762

 

EDIT: It looks it may just be saying that Android 4.4 KikKat can be flashed on the phone. Hm...I dunno. But here's what I do know: There's an XDA section for this phone. That will be the best place for answers.

That is obscenely cheap, but I think I'd throw in the extra to bump me to Moto G.

Well ya, the Moto G is obviously leaps and bounds better, but if somebody wants a decent smartphone on the uber cheap, then I say to just get the Open C.

For an $85 phone it seams to be well designed.

This would be a cool phone just to screw around with learn android as ive never used android and really want to also learn about rooting and if i brick it wont really matter because its not my daily driver also id like to see how firefox os is i havnt heard much about it or even seen a phone with it so that would be cool to check out nice find.

For $85 I'd just buy a used S2 then put CyanogenMod it but progress is progress and this is good in the phone industry.
