Amazon.co.uk hav ethe firephone at £99 - is it worth it?

[Horaland H]

Amazon.co.uk currently have £200 off the firephone making it £99, off contract.

That's alot of phone for £99 but is it worth it and will I be able to cope with FireOS when I've been a Nexus user for the last 4 years.

Currently I've got a Nexus 4.

Unless you're heavily invested in the Amazon ecosystem, I'd go for a different device. Google services are unavailable on the Fire phone, and from what I recall from reviews, the battery life is relatively underwhelming (probably due to the gimmicky parallax cameras). I suppose you could root it, but even then, it's not a simple matter of installing vanilla Android: [GUIDE] Amazon Fire Phone ROOTED! 3.5.1 Down… | Amazon Fire Phone | XDA Forums

I personally would say no -- but that is just me. I do not like the Fire phone at all.
