Program Overview

The Geeksphone devices are the first in our developer preview program. In partnership with Telefonica, we have ordered two types of devices: Peak (early name Twist) and Keon (early name Zero).

The hardware and software for the devices is in the process of being finalized and they will go into mass production right after Chinese New Year. We expect to receive them at the beginning of March. A few hundred pre-release devices were made for Campus Party in Brazil and are being made for MWC.

Availability / Pricing

When is the phone available?

We expect the phone to start shipping in early March 2013.

How much will it cost?

Pricing is still to be determined.

Can I get one for free?

Mozilla will have a limited number of phones to distribute to contributors and developers.

In which countries will the phone be available?

Geeksphone will ship to all countries. The phone will need to clear customs in the destination country, however. If you have any concerns, contact your local customs office.

Will it work with any SIM card?

Yes.

Will they be completely unlocked?

Yes.
