I'm thinking of doing that. My Prime is up Dec 23rd and I was going to buy a Moto E that was $100. This is a better deal.

I did the same thing. $100 for a 32GB Fire "iPod touch" with superior hardware? It's a no-brainer.

Not sure if you're aware of this, but Amazon tacks new Prime memberships onto the end of your current one. That way, you lose nothing. For me, I just got two more Prime memberships (Kindle-Prime promo, Fire Phone) and they'll be tacked onto my current one. I'm now good for another two years.

I have to wait till I get the money. My birthday money I should have had but it turns out my mother's is waiting on her check which seems to be lost so I just have to wait till it all works out.

Does the prime renew on the account you buy it from or does it renew on the account the phone is registered to. So if someone bought it as a gift would they get the prime or would the person getting the gift?

Prime goes to the account the phone is registered to. Check out this FAQ:
Quote:
I have more than one Amazon account, which one is eligible for one year of Prime?

When registering your device, you will be prompted to enter your Amazon account information. We will apply a full year Prime membership to this account.

Awesome I can buy it on my account then register it on his for a day so the prime will go on his account instead of mine. Makes it so much easier as long as its full prime which means you can share free shipping with 4 others.

How quickly things can change. My post above was less than a month ago.

Now I'm expecting delivery of my $100 fire-pod tomorrow. (Amazon does Sunday delivery around here). The year of prime was added to my account this morning, I would have been renewing in a couple of weeks anyway.

Since I use t-mobile pre-paid already, the unlocked phone should be just the thing for me.

I found out the phone is Straight Talk compatible just haven't figure out yet how to go about it. I am waiting on my birthday money before I can order but it should be sometime this week.

Blossom,

All you need to do is to order the NANO SIM package from Straight Talk. If you order the SIM kit by the 14th of December they send it out FED EX Overnight $14.95 value for free.

I tried to pickup a NANO sim kit at Wally World but was almost killed by shoppers so online I went!.

I just ordered this from ebay.

3 screen protectors for the Fire Phone for .99 with free shipping. I always get a multi pack in case I screw up the first application.
