[wraggster]

"LG has launched the Fireweb Firefox OS smartphone (http://firefoxosblog.net/lg-fireweb-firefox-os-smartphone/) in a joint event with the Telefonica Vivo carrier. The Fireweb Firefox OS smartphone will be available for around $200 and will join the Alcatel One Touch Fire (https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2013/10/22/telefonica-vivo-launches-firefox-os-smartphones-in-brazil/) which Telfonia is launching in Brazil, starting today. Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay are the next countries to get it. The Fireweb smartphone is LG's very first Firefox OS device and it increases the small number of OEMs that have released Firefox OS devices on the market. The smartphone has a 4-inch screen with a 480 x 320 display, a 1GHz Qualcomm processor and 4GB internal storage that can be expended with the microSD card slot by up to 32GB. It has a 5-megapixel cameras that comes with both autofocusing and an LED flash, which is a first for Firefox OS phones."Hopefully an OEM releases a Firefox OS phone with beefier hardware, but you can't argue with the price.
