Ohh, what a surprise; a company totally inexperienced in smartphone software and manufacturing stubbornly enters the most competitive market of all and gets a cold shower...

Crazy expensive at launch, creepy cameras in all 4 corners makes the it look weird, no access to Google Play Store or their full suite of apps. I can't imagine why the Fire phone didn't work.

The phones just a bad phone according to reviews. But aside from that the company model of wasting money on ambitious ventures isn't working. Stick to what you're good at, Amazon. You're not here to be the best.
