They should have stayed in their lane, do what they do best. Stupid nikkas
They got clapped quick in this phone war.
Its their first phone and its tons of competition out there.
This isnt surprising. Be interesting to see if they stick with it and improve it

shyt app store and bulky ass design
I started noticing a bad trend back at amazon when I was out there a few years ago. They are basically the walmart of e-commerce and are just trying to have a say in every market imaginable. As you continue to grow, it gets increasingly tougher to do so many things well. The fire phone is a perfect example of this...let's compare Amazon and Apple for a moment.

Amazon is losing the focus that made them the best, they are stretching themselves out too thin and the Fire Phone/Tablets are a great example of that. They have too much bs going on in the background with that company and need to trim the fat before they lose what really matters...and thats the amazon.com store. They are trying to compete with tech giants that JUST focus on tech like Samsung and Apple. It's one thing to compete and its another to lose focus...I think Amazon has been aggressively trying to grab ALL of the online market and have thus spread themselves out too thin. Luckily at this time the Amazon store has not suffered as a result, but if they continue to add more and more to that company it will implode, its almost inevitable at this point at the rate they are going.

Not to mention their margins are extremely thin already. They need to fall back.
With a name like Amazon the last thing they needed to do was make an expensive product. It cost over $600 off contract and that's a problem when most if their popular devices like the kindle and tablet are sub $150. I was expecting it to be $199 off contract but they went another route.
