In addition to showcasing two Firefox OS handsets (Alcatel One Touch Fire and ZTE Fire) in a conference held in Mobile World Congress, Mozilla has recently announced the 18 telcos that they’ve teamed up with to aid them in their Open Web HTML5 efforts. Emmanuel Lorenzana, Executive VP and Head of Smart’s wireless consumer division, is clearly ecstatic to be part of this venture stating that “Firefox's entry to the mobile phone market will bring customer experience to another level with lower cost barrier to ownership and more choices in terms of devices and mobile apps. This explains why the company has partnered with device manufacturers (Alcatel, Huawei, LG and ZTE) that have been known for producing low-cost handsets. Moreover, he’s insinuating that Firefox OS will give telcos some say over the apps that are being pushed to the platform (more bloatware perhaps?). So far, Alcatel and ZTE are the only two manufacturers with a readymade smartphone, but Mozilla is also looking to include Huawei and LG in the mix. The HTC Wildfire S will be tagging along too. We headed off to the office of HTC's Philippine Distributor yesterday to get a first hand preview of the HTC WildFire and after some time with the handset, let me share with you my first hand impressions.
