| Amazon Fire Phone
Amazon finally unveiled their mobile device today. Amazon announces the Fire Phone
i think the price point is still too high for this compared to Samsung/Apple.

agreed too expensive...needs to compete with nexus
3D, although looks fun, will never get widespread adoption on mobile devices
how's the content selection/customer service for the kindle these days? Is it still very poor compared to US? Can you use VPN to bypass?
The whole appeal of amazon device is ebooks...at 4.7" 720p i'd assume that's not ideal (i have the same dimensions but never tried reading ebooks although magazines in pdf is a bitch)

Don't see myself owning one. Most of these new features seem like stuff I'll hate or will turn off. So they add no value to me.

^ ditto.
auto scrolling looks like something that would really get on my nerves, so it would be turned off.
3d is tacky... just like when ios7 tried to implement the ever so slight tilt on their homescreen and stuff. Will the feature work with all games, or will programmers need to make it specific?
mayday? ummm...no.
