ok, seems noone is interested in an open source operating system (FOSS)?
i know it doesnt seem to offer much right now, but i like the idea of a fully open OS and would like to support such an idea.
SailfishOS, Tizen, Android are all Linux based, but not open and under control of one or more interested parties (which want your money)
so additionally to the q above,
does someone own a ZTE V790? this seems to be more or less the same phone than the ZTE open.
same for the LG e610 = LG Fireweb.
i did not find out which Alcatel /TcL phones are equivalent.
both Geeksphones are not sold anymore, so chances to get one are pretty slim (as they are actively used as developer phones)
i have an old Samsung Galaxy Apollo /Leo/3 (GT-i5800) here, that would fit specs-wise pretty nicely, but unfortunately i do not know (yet) how to build FirefoxOS for it.
There were ports done for many Sony Xperia models (Sony itself "supports" only Xperia E), there is also a port for eg. Samsung Galaxy S...
but as is seems, the low powered Qualcomm CPUs (single -? and dual core - Snapdragin 200) have the most work done already, so if you are interested and you have a phone like this it would be nice if you could share here. obviously the phone needs to be supported by Cyanogenmod because you need the manifest.xml from CM in order to make the hardware work.
this could be a cool little project,
if you dont have any of the supported phones, the ZTE Open can be had pretty cheap (depending on where you live - 70 USD -100 USD)
the ZTE V790 would probably work also (that is about 55USD)
if you do not want to spend money, you can also give it a little test by installing a simulator in your Firefox Browser:

be aware also that there are new FirefoxOS phones coming out from:
ZTE (Open II, Open C)
TCL (One Touch Fire C, Fire E, Fire S) and from the looks of it the Fire S can be had as a developer model with dual sim support....
Huawei (Y300 II)
LG (unknown new model right now only LG Fireweb)
Geeksphone Revolution (dual boot with Android)
an until now undisclosed low cost solution with Spreadtrum Communications SC6810 SoC (aka the "25 USD phone")
there are also 2 tablets being made ready, one 10 inch and one 7 inch (Foxconn and VIA)
