I love my Paperwhite. And love Amazon online bookstore. But I think this phone is a waste of money. As a phone, tablet or whatever other use.

It would be different if it was truly unlocked. And with that I mean, access to Google market. But getting a phone just to browse Internet? No thanks. It's also too small for reading.

I rather spend 100 dollars in additional Amazon Prime subscription and save the extra 100 dollars. At least, that's my opinion.

I'm happy with my iPad Aid and iPad mini. But if I want something smaller or that size that is Android based, I would pick a Nexus tablet instead.
