Got ours today. This will be for my wife. Now I have to decide if I want one for myself. Certainly got a better camera than my current phone, more storage, better overall specs, but there's the matter of apps, though that's not too much of a problem (apart from google apps, Play Books etc which is as expected). (hey, when did the youtube.com app show up in the Appstore? I'm sure it wasn't there a few months ago...wonder if it has Chromecast support as with Android/iOS)
Maps/navigation seems okay but there's no traffic overlay AFAICT. I think as long as you do route plan before leaving wifi, it will cache the route information so you don't need cell connection, but I have not tried that.
Haven't decided on a provider yet. It will most likely be one on AT&T network (Go Phone, Cricket, StraightTalk) as we don't have much in the way of T-Mobile or Metro PCS coverage.
I think there is supposed to be an update to Fire OS at some point (currently at 3.6.8).
