We probably would have bought the Fire phone had it not been tied to AT&T. Once the reviews started coming in, we knew we had dodged a bullet.
I was a huge Amazon fan, back in the day. Now, I don't recommmend their tablets to anyone. My dislike started when they broke the Fire 7" HDX with an update. I used that device all the time, and loved it for video and music. The update hosed the volume, and it was no longer loud enough to use without headphones.
Then I picked up the Fire HD 8.9" refurbished for my husband. I thought the problems were because he was new to touch screens, and I missed the return time frame. Turns out the thing is a real dog. So he got an iPad, and I used that Fire for videos. As it aged, apps become incompatible, so I picked up a refurb Fire 10". It's just ok, but only for Netflix and Prime video. It needs almost daily rebooting, and a couple of apps I use don't work dependably and need to be removed and reinstalled weekly.
IMO their tablets are garbage. Especially if you want to browse, email, and type anything.
I don't expect that 10" Fire to be as robust as my iPad Pro. But I do expect it to work without constant reboots and reinstalls. And it doesn't.
