All of Amazon’s big ideas are in software, in the way the phone works rather than how it looks. But before we get to all that, it’s worth just considering this distinctly Amazonian device simply as a phone.
The Fire Phone is widely regarded as one of Amazon’s biggest misfires — and rightfully so. After debuting in the top spot of the company’s retail..
In January 2015, Amazon Fire phone earned our top spot for the being the biggest tech flop of 2014.
As terrible as it was... you are making such claims because they have ran out of stock? Lol
Just another example of people making up their own news stories.
So now you're claiming Amazon never sold a single Fire Phone? Nice try... Keep moving those goalposts.
Everyone knows the Fire phone was a flop. If Amazon should suddenly go out of stock of it's product that has been collecting dust in store shelves, it does raises an eye brown..
They ran out of stock because they have been practically giving them away over the last few months.
techSpot: Amazon has laid off “dozens of engineers” from its Lab126 hardware unit as a result of the Amazon Fire Phone’s failure, according to reports from The Wall Street Journal.
I completely forget about this (go figure). It seems everyone and their mother wants to be in the phone market. Anecdotally everyone I know either has a Samsung or Iphone, 99 percent of the news you'll see on this site is covering these brands with the occasional Chinese phone manufactures (Huawei, Xiaomi) or the old hey remember Blackberry piece.
I think the hardest thing facing newcomers to this market is breaking into the lexicon, pseudo brand recognition but not really. For instance few people in the general public realize that Sony makes one hell of a smart phone with their Xperia. But you'll sooner find a unicorn walking down the street than seeing an Xperia in the hands of a friend or even a complete stranger.
Think in terms of MP3 players, at their height Ipod somehow become synonymous with all MP3 players just like in the early 90's you weren't playing video games you were playing Nintendo.
Point being even if your phone is a great piece of tech, sometimes society as a whole could care less because it isnt something they know or even care to learn about.
Pretty much of an average phone, alot of things would surely be fixed in the sequel..
Hmm it looks like a nice phone and the dynamic perspective really works
I think with time, like the next iteration, should be a lot better. Amazon should stick with it if they're really going headfirst into the Smartphone business.
