This seems like a nice phone. Amazon is a relatively good manufacturer and supports their stuff well.
I've owned a 3D phone before, the EVO 3D. It was a good phone too.
I'm just not seeing who is going to buy this Amazon phone at this price. The problems are thus:
Why would I pay full price to get locked into the Amazon Appstore? No Gmail app, No calender app, must re-buy apps bought off of play store. Sure I already own a few apps on the Amazon Appstore, but I have CHOICE now. What is the reason I should give that up?
Why would I switch to ATT and pay them full price for this phone? Even if I'm on ATT, why pick this phone over an HTC or Moto, or Samsung, or LG? 3D stuff? An app that lets me buy stuff on Amazon.com? I already have that, the Amazon app.
Nobody will make 3d apps without a huge userbase. We've seen this play out before.
My HTC One M7 came with 32 gigs for $199. last year. Shouldn't I expect better this year?
Is this a phone for rabid Amazon fans? Are all the people in the Gold Box forum going to get excited to buy this? Why the hell does it only come with ONE year of Prime if it's bought with a TWO year contract?
Please, enlighten me.
