The performance of Firefox OS today on 800MHz hardware is many times better than it was on the Nexus S devices back in the day. This is partly due to hardware but mostly due to the OS maturing.

In short, today's build of Firefox OS will run very fast on these developer specifications.

Good to hear, maybe time to load it up again to see where it has gone. I was really jazzed about it (bought a Nexus S just for the occasion) but seeing just how bad it was really broke my heart.

Any hint on the prices?

No doubt they will be priced cheaper than the Nexus 4.

Developer preview probably means very small production run, which in turn means high unit price. Final, mass produced devices of course should be significantly cheaper.
