It looks like I'm the only poster in this thread who would have purchased the Fire Phone. Unfortunately, I'm bound up with the ATT Samsung Galaxy s5 for TWO YEARS.

This is not like buying a Kindle PW or HDX for less than $ 200 and no contract. These smart phones run between $ 100 and $ 200 immediately with a 2 year contract for the rest up to $ 400 additional.

Unless Amazon convinces and pays part of an ATT special offer to switch contracts. I doubt if these phones will match the Kindles in sales. So far there is no sign of any deal like this.

By the way, here is a side by side comparison of the Fire Phone, Galaxy s5 and LG G3:
