Since you've had the phone for a while, have you seen any talk of Amazon contemplating such an upgrade? I'm baffled that Amazon would have a very different UI on a device that amounts to a mini Fire. It's quite disconcerting switching between the two UIs; and I don't like it one bit.

I'm using this phone like a pocket-sized Fire HDX. It's worth the $100 I paid for it. If I had to pay $200 with the current OS, I wouldn't do it.

Very glad they fixed the battery drain.
I think the FireFone was included in the email announcement of the upcoming OS upgrade to the HDX's - but I'm not sure. I'll poke around and see if I saved the email.

Mines ordered with Del date of Dec 29th! Do you folks know how long it takes for them to add the Prime? My free trial ends the 9th or 12th.
They added my Prime the day the phone shipped.

Sounds like the Android app. I keep waiting for an update that includes stations. One of the reasons for getting the phone is for the Prime Stations. Is this only available on the Fire tablets? Haven't bothered to check my iPad.
I wish they'd push it out to all platforms.

First impressions (with no Sim card)...excellent! I really love how I can tilt the phone to scroll through the apps. (Especially since I can't find a way to search my apps )

Still getting used to it, and yes, I'd like an update, too.

Hey what's this monkey game that downloaded. "Monkey Buddy." I don't recall having sent it to my Fire Phone. But it downloaded. Do you know anything about that, Monkey?

My favorite games play smoothly and look great.

I got one too. It's some kind of virtual pet. He responds to things you do. I sent it back to the cloud.

My favorite monkey game is Chimpact. It was a FAOTD last year.

They've assigned one to you. Look in the Manage your devices page in Amazon, and you will see it listed there.
