* developers working on B2G or writing applications for it | |||
* technical evangelists and documenters | |||
* qa engineers | |||
* those who will travel to events to demo to developers | |||
During Phase 1, only employees and close partners are eligible to receive phones. We are not yet able to give phones to non-employee contributors. | |||

To qualify for a phone under the B2G Test Drivers program, you must: | |||
* be a Mozilla employee | |||

* agree to test the phone daily, send feedback, file bugs, participate on the mailinglist, etc. | |||
* not to re-flash the phone with another build of B2G | |||
