The problem is, it wasn't priced as such. The Fire Phone best compares to the Nexus 5 and the OnePlus One; both of which were priced well under it. Even after the $200 price cut, the other two phones are still cheaper.

Phone Comparison
  • Fire Phone --> 649 (32G) --- 749 (64G) --> price at release Jul 14
  • Fire Phone --> 449 (32G) --- 549 (64G) --> after price cut Sep 14
  • Nexus 5 ----> 349 (16G) --- 399 (32G)
  • One+ One --> 299 (16G) --- 349 (64G)
