They've lost 170M on the project.

That's a very bad hit on top of your product being shyt on by everyone.

The whole phone line might get scrapped. You know they were already finishing up a second gen.

They should scrap the phone idea...I think a better idea for them would be to buy out a company maybe htc don't know if it's feasible.

I was thinking more like $50 - $80 :mjpls:

:mjcry: I drive a 2002 minivan , I was thinking more get the 64 gig joint and just fill her up with music

For whatever reason I don't like using my phone as mp3, well actually I do know, it's cause of the shytty battery

The phone was garbage. 720p screen in these days and times? A joke.
The screen resolution is not the problem, its basically that the phone has an operating system that acts like a store first and then an OS second. It's completely ass backwards and it sucks.

The phone should be given away for free for people who sign up for a year of prime.

Phone market is one of the most cutthroat competitive sectors

How could Amazon not come correct?

Seems like their breadwinner success was more timing than brilliance. There is a growing backlash against them too, most people I know in the valley or in the PNW working in tech dont buy Amazon. Terrible place to work, prob not a good place for designing shyt like this to be successful
