There is already a Samsung phone called the Blaze, so I wouldn't bet on that being the name.
I'm perfectly happy with my Nexus 4. Paying $40 a month less than when I was with Verizon, contract free, and my phone only cost me $100 more than an on contract phone. No bloatware from carriers either. |

With Amazon's penchant for locking down devices, I really hope this phone venture will be an enormous flop that will teach Amazon a lesson that leads to more open devices.
In reality, millions of people will not care whether they can do something as simple as change a background and the phones will sell like hotcakes. Take that, Amazon. |

The devil is in the details (the calling plan). There are plenty of nice smartphones out there but I haven't seen a contract that meets my requirements (equivalent to the prepaid plan I currently have). I'm hopeful that Amazon can come up with something disruptive.
