Very disappointed.
First, let me disclose my bias. I LOVE Amazon and almost all of its products and services. I am a Prime Member; I get my books on Audible and Kindle, etc. Perhaps it was my appreciation for most things Amazon that caused my great disappointment with the Fire phone. I returned it today - having had it less than a week. The 3D and Firefly bells and whistles are gimmicky. The apps I use most were not available on Amazon's app store. The phone gets blazing hot to the touch (oh, maybe that is where "Fire" comes from). To turn off the ringer, you have to go through a minimum of 4 steps (swipes). The audio (not using headphones) is tinny and reminiscent of phones from the 1990s. It is a beautiful looking phone, but for this price, I want something that is both beautiful and functional, such as an iPhone. Happy to try it again in the second or third generation.
