That was one single person.
You also get a year of free prime with the phone so Amazon is essentially paying you $100 to take their phone. What a complete failure. |

And it does not cost Amaon any additional charge to hand out free membership -- at worst, it is a lost opportunity for them. Meanwhile, here's a phone which encourages you in a multitude of ways to shop at Amazon... |

If only they'd further cut the unlocked prices

Just saw this on Nate's blog
Fire Phone Sales are so Bad, AT&T is Now Bundling a Fire HDX Tablet for $49 Quote:
Time to lower the unlocked price again -- $249~$300 for 32GB and $299~$349 for 64GB. |

What? Am I the only person that bought one?
I like it - and once they update the OS to manage the battery drain from WiFi it will be even better. Hmmm .... I got a full refund for the phone ... wonder if I can get a $49 tablet for being an early sucker adopter ... |

That was cool that you got the refund. Call 'em and see if you can get the $49 tablet. You have nothing to lose. I'll give them $249 for an unlocked version; and I want the $49 tablet to boot |

I have an unlocked Nexus 4 and I use it as a 4.7" Android tablet. It's like having a mini Nexus 7. |

On the other hand, if AT&T would offer it as a no contract Go Phone, I would be interested. That's the only cell service we use. Last edited by booklover6; 10-24-2014 at 08:43 AM. |
