If your bank card has a MasterCard or Visa symbol on it then it's consider a credit card and can be used as such. There are debit cards out there that only work at places that accept debit no credit.

You have it tomorrow then. Amazon always uses USPS more than UPS when you don't pay for shipping. Even when you have Prime 2 day most small items will come UPS who gives it to the Post Office to deliver.

I just tested it. I downloaded Hard Eight then click at the bottom and it downloaded the audible and started playing then hubby yelled at me for playing it too loud before I could adjust the volume. Try hitting the half circle where is the voice speed control that might force it to download. It works great.

That's the nice thing about the audio on my iPad. No one ever complains that it's too loud.

Ah it's just he's jealous of Ranger. As soon as he heard Ranger talking he got all bratty. (Ranger is a character in the Stephanie Plum series.) As I was downloading the Audible I hit X-Ray which is awesome and shows all the places each character is mention. So I tapped on Ranger result and it started reading from that page.

I don't know who they got working the feedback support on the phone but they need to educate them on a few things.

I asked if the Fire Phone would be upgrading to Sangria any time soon. The person didn't know what Sangria is!

Sangria also known as Fire 4.0 is the operating system Amazon developed that is currently on their Kindle Fires 2014 and 2013 versions. The Amazon Fire Phone uses Last year's Firmware better known as Mojito or Fire 3.0 So I simply asked if our phones would get the new Sangria operating system anytime soon not expecting them to be clueless.

Android also has names like that the last two being Android 4.4 which is KitKat and now we have Android 5 which is Lollipop. You may also hear names like Ice Creme Sandwich, Jelly Bean or Gingerbread which are older versions of Android. The very First Kindle Fire has Gingerbead, The next one had Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Fire Phone is Mojito which is based off Jelly Bean which is Android 4.2 Sangria is based off KitKat which Android 4.4 which has immersion mode which is not to be confused with Kindle Immersion mode talked about in previous posts. It just means apps can be views at full screen with KitKat giving us more screen space and less distraction.

I would like to see them update the bluetooth to 4.0 (it is now 3.0) so I can sync my wearables and use the apps. They have been talking about this upgrade for months. They say they are going to do it and I wish they would.
Is that a part of Sangria, Blossom?

Still love this phone though!!!
