It's pretty easy to disable the amazon ad lock screen,but you won't be able to get around the locked bootloader.

I picked one up on Amazon for a friend. Used it for a week. I didn't even notice the Lockscreen ads. No big deal.
The phone works very well on Verizon. It activated immediately using a sim from my N6. The UI looks the same as the N6. Battery life was very good. Camera worked fine. I'm not a professional photographer.
I would buy this phone tomorrow if mine broke.
Screen size and appearance was just fine. Plenty big.
Only minus for me was the feeble single speaker.

I'm going to have to look into that. If you say it's easy, that gives me hope. I'm considering this for my mom though, leaning more towards the smaller version of this though.

I should say easy for me. It does require adb, which some people aren't comfortable with

Do the ads can be disabled? Is there any downside in doing so?

Yes, ads can be disable. There are videos of it online. You just have to search for it. It is very simple.

Is there anyway of disabling the Amazon ads since the BLU_R0010UU_V6.6_GENERIC update?

Thanks
