Tempted. My Prime runs out early August. I'm hoping they have a better deal on Prime on August 15th, I don't really want a next phone, especially one with a heavily modified OS.

I'd be careful. The biggest complaints about this phone is the inability to customize the home screen (apps are arranged randomly each time in a carousel) and limited app store. Sideloading works, but if the app needs updating through the Play Store to function, you will be screwed.

Honestly, I don't want to trash this thread, but I wouldn't pay a dime for this phone, and would only get it if it were free. Too limited for what it is.

Think of it as:

Buy one year of Amazon Prime and get the Amazon Fire Phone for just $60

It's a great phone for a teenager or backup at that price.

I like the way you think, new toy for me.

the fire phone goes for about $180 on that auction site, so I see it as buy it, sell the phone and keep the prime for free
