Firefox may have just won its first battle in the smartphone world, with the ZTE Open selling out in its first weekend in the US and UK.

Whilst it sold out in its first weekend, just under 2000 were available collectively, with 990 phones in the UK and 985 in the US. The phone was also positioned to be very affordable, selling at just £60 in the UK and $80 in the US.

The ZTE Open was exclusively sold on eBay in the US and UK, with the company offering free shipping to anyone who bought one. It’s currently unknown when eBay will have more stock available, so if you’ve been wanting a Firefox OS Phone, then you may be forced to wait a little while.
