They had better get NASCAR in there. She doesn't even know who won the Daytona 500.

Very good Rich. I liked that one.
I finally managed to add my brother as my household so I can get all the Prime Music (I have a subPrime account on his). The Echo doesn't really give him any benefit since he already has an internet radio with spoken presets, but he can listen the small amount of my music where we have actual shared tastes. |

I have had had problems with my Echo, and customer service has been great. There is a tunein radio station that sputters and dies after a bit, and using Bluetooth to stream prime radio stations is the same. They had me try other things, and iheart works fine, another radio station on tunein works fine, Pandora works fine, etc. So they are going to look at the Bluetooth issue. Actually, I wouldn't really care if they could make the prime radio stations available on the Echo. Is anyone else using the Bluetooth feature? (I don't use it to listen to music, because I uploaded all my music and playlists to the Amazon cloud over 7 days a couple years ago.) What do you use Bluetooth for, and does it work?

I use Echo's Bluetooth on occasion, but generally shy away from it because it defeats the purpose of having the Echo -- I got it to be a standalone music player. If I used it with BT more often, it would've been cheaper to buy a BT speaker instead of Echo. |

Really strange that they would go out of their way to beef up their competitors platforms before bringing the enhancements to their own stuff. |

I use it as bluetooth speaker for my laptop. I still ask it for weather a few times a day, as a music player by itself and alarm clock.

Anyone receive Echo lately...mine delay 60 days
Not happy with Amazon this morning...today was the day the Echo was supposed to arrive, had a couple of friends invited over this evening to see this supposed wonder, even cancelled an appointment to be sure I was home to not miss the UPS guy.
Amazon emailed this morning about 9 am and said NO Echo today..moved back to a date in June I will be out of town on vacation. Has ANYONE received their Echo in the last couple of weeks, just wondering if they are shipping.. |

Be sure and express your dissatisfaction over this turn of events. Chances are they'll give you a monetary credit. Don't settle for anything less than $10. Amazon gave me a $10 credit late last year when I questioned when they were going to add Prime Stations to the Fire Phone. And it was a simple question with no hint of dissatisfaction whatsoever. So your inconvenience should be worth more. |

Text message isn't good enough you need to call during business hours and let them know you have to cancel a party because of it. Let them know how upset you are about the last minute noticed.
