My wife’s Kindle fire is horrible. She loves my nexus 7. Amazon phone? No thanks.

Yeah if it made those ridiculous, overpriced, unrealistic “full retail prices” come down so the average Joe/Jill can buy the phone off-contract, that would be most excellent. But I’m not interested in an “Amazon content-delivery” phone. I love Amazon, don’t get me wrong, but a phone that drowns me in Amazon-delivered content? No thanks.

How about an amazon kindle phone, that fits in a tablet, like what asus padfone did?

A Kindle Phone is a REALLY dumb Idea. Enough Said!

I’m waiting for perfect price to buy out right. Since I want to keep my unlimited data through Verizon. I would think this one would be a fun rooted phone since they seem to just them the system?

Not interested in a amazon phone, but the tablet I am definitely interested in! Competition is always a good thing in the tablet arena..

Great point. I didn’t even think of this. If only you could buy unlocked phones for vzw.

If all phones sold for ~300 to 350 I would have bought four phones this year alone.

Not even android enough really. Amazon trying to reinvent their own version of android is silly.

Agreed. It’s so nice to STILL be able to say that about my current phone. (Galaxy nexus as well)

It won’t but would be interesting if it came out with FirefoxOS.

I dont see a market for Amazon phones when you have Andriod, Apple and Windows.
