Firefox OS — geeksphone Peak

On tuesday last week, geeksphone started to sell smartphones running Firefox OS so… I bought one.

There are two models:

Those phones are "developer preview", which may sound like "they currently suck so it's not for everybody", but anyway, it's a good thing to see that there is a lot of interest in a more open mobile platform (geeksphone went out of stock just hours after opening the shop).

I received my Peak yesterday:

Peak box Peak box opened Peak accessories Peak back Peak boot

I had a quick tour and here is my first impression (I may be wrong on some stuff since I used it just for a couple of hours):

So, is it ready for mass market? Clearly not yet, but it looks promising (even if I'm a bit dubious on some choices that have been made).

Next step? Put a SIM card in it 😉.

If you want to have a look at Firefox OS, you can install Firefox OS simulator.
