ZTE may have had a head start in the Firefox OS race ahead of MWC, but Alcatel’s also got something similar to ride on the waves of some “500 million Mozilla users.” Suitably dubbed the One Touch Fire, this entry-level phone is basically a rehash of the budget One Touch T’Pop announced back at CES, packing a 3.5-inch HVGA TN display, a 1GHz processor, 256MB RAM, 512MB storage and a 3.2-megapixel camera. There are also the usual bunch of radios: WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, FM radio and UMTS 900/2100 and 850/1900/2100 (up to 7.2Mbps for download and 5.76Mbps for upload). Underneath the removable 1,400mAh battery you’ll find a microSD slot that’ll take anything up to 32GB (a 2GB card is included), as well as a slot for an old-school Mini-SIM card. We got the chance to play with the Fire earlier today and while the glossy plastic body — in either orange or pink — felt solid enough, the performance wasn’t quite there yet: the touch and software response were significantly sluggish, as you’ll see in our hands-on video after the break. On the brighter side of things, the surprisingly large loudspeaker on the back produced some punchy bass, but don’t expect too much from its audio quality. Alcatel has a few more months to grease up the phone before its June launch across Latin America and Europe, so we’ll be able to give it a proper score then. Press release after the break.
