As an Oasis owner - how about you providing the missing information for our device table?

* First six characters of serial number
* Communications option (Wifi or Wifi/3g)
* Country of purchase
* Country of sale
Sure! Though I think it's duplicative with a serial number prefix someone else has already given in an earlier thread...

G080 GC
Wifi
UK, bought from amazon.co.uk.

(Merlot cover, bought within the first 30 minutes of it going on sale, or I would *not* have got it on April 27 the cover was somewhat gouged on arrival, thanks heaps delivery man. Ah well, I really don't care, it still works. I have none of the battery-connection or screen problems others have been reporting: I'm very happy with it.)

Kindle Fire is android, and it starts up with a custom "desktop" that is much like the latest GUI framework on eink kindles, so yes, android "can even start up with a screen looking even remotely like the current Kindles do".

Fires are sold primarily as a reading device, not a tablet, after all, so a book-friendly (cheap alternative to color eink) GUI is essential to getting Fire owners to buy ebooks from the amazon store. Yes, folks do hack THAT device to be a tablet PC, because under that bookish skin, it really is a tablet PC.

@NullNix: Double-checking, cause I'd forgotten about the previous report, and I jotted itdown somewhere I can't remember right now...

Is that G080GC or G090GC?

Interesting, because I'm looking at mine, and it's G0B0 GC (US, bought from Amazon.com, Wi-fi only)

Neither. This damn font is too easy to misread.

G0B0 GC.

(Sigh. I never make errors like this... except it seems now I do. New glasses...)

It seems that you have a fancy advanced ability that I don't have, called "reading". (I hear quite a lot of Kindle owners have this increasingly rare ability.)

It seems that adding two prefixes for the missing models (K1 and Oasis), plus
**not** having any prefix for "Fire" or "Android <anything>" is the consensus.

I'll wait another day or two before reporting back to the prefix-makers in case someone else wishes to comment.

I passed on the above information to the "prefix-makers" today.
