ZTE Open Firefox OS phone is available on eBay

In six days ends the Ubuntu Edge "fundraising" but I don't think this is the way to go. If few people like Linus Torvalds ignited a revolution why the same is not happening on the mobile space with less than $ 32mm? Even starting without big expectations about the market penetration because probably in a few years we will buy generic mobile phones in the same way that we buy PCs today.

I think the priority is to have a good native UI there. We already have a lot of OSes to choose from.

What carriers does it support in the US?

You couldn't scrolled down a few inches to see:

    Support US 3G NETWORK
    2G NETWORK:GSM 850/900/1800/1900
    3G NETWORK:UMTS 850/1900

Which is any GSM carrier and, depending on your area, 3G from ATT and Tmo or just ATT + all the MVNO's, US Cellular and other smaller regionals that lease from ATT
