5.0 out of 5 stars Detailed review of the Fire Phone. Amazing phone with some amazing limitations and equally amazing Amazon integration! November 29, 2014

By MoonX TOP 100 REVIEWER

Verified Purchase

Let me preface this by saying, my 5-star rating is based on what this phone IS, not what it ISN'T as this is the only fair way to review the phone. But, I am going to go over both so you know what you're getting yourself into:

*** INTRO ***

This unlocked Fire Phone (which is the same as the AT&T; version with horrible reviews, only it's unlocked), is an all around excellent phone with some pretty cool technology not found on other phones. The big thing to remember here is who the manufacturer is: Amazon. That said, it's important to realize that the phone is going to be centered around the Amazon ecosystem. Many of the 1-star reviews on the AT&T; version were written by people who didn't read the description or reviews before dropping a lot of money and committing themselves to a 2-year contract.

This all started with the Kindle, and has since evolved into the Kindle Fire Tablets, and now, the Fire Phone. As is the case with Microsoft and Apple, Amazon is in direct competition with Google and Apple in terms of their "App Stores" and their music sales, hence the reason you're not going to find Google Apps or iTunes on this phone... we'll go into that in more detail below, but let's start with the display:

*** DISPLAY ***

The display is a standard 4.7" 1280x720p TFT LCD screen so its not the super high-resolution 4K or quad-HD displays that are becoming mainstream on new smartphones. The Fire phone comes in with a 315 ppi pixel density which is not bad, but it's lower than a lot of the competition. In short, you're eyes are not going to distinguish anything above 300 ppi so the Fire Phone's display is perfectly adequate. *** DETAILED TECH ALERT! *** If you're happy knowing the screen is acceptable, skip to the next section...

5.0 out of 5 stars Here's how to install Google Play Store and change home screen! November 30, 2014

By Jason Singleton

Verified Purchase

By far the best phone I've had, very fast, good battery life, camera takes really good photos. I'm using it with Walmart's Family Mobile plan, my total monthly bill is only $39.64. I'm getting sick of seeing the negative posts about not having Google Play Store or apps.

I literately spent 5 minutes installing the apps. I used the firefly feature on the phone to grab the tutorial url off my pc then installed 4 apps and I was in business with Google Play Store. Shortly after I added the dodol launcher for my home screen, also downloaded "launcher switcher" which allows me to quickly open the default Amazon home screen if needed. I've add pictures of my home screen. This took all but 15 minutes. Takes care of pretty much all the complaints. I'm sad I only ordered two of these phones. Amazon has changed the ship time to 1 - 3 weeks now.

Keep in mind I didn't have to root the phone or anything, as of now the background on home screen is black but I'm sure someone will figure out a work around for that.

I've created a full tutorial on how to side load apps. Install Google Play Store and change your home screen launcher, if you want to get rid of the Fire Home Screen.

Please mark helpful if you followed the tutorial so other Fire Phone users can find it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Greeat Feature-rich Smart Phone for $100 November 26, 2014

By cantslowdown

Verified Purchase

I'm not an AT&T; customer so I kind of disregarded the AT&T; Fire phone, but then I saw an unlocked device for $199, so I looked at the reviews of the AT&T; version and almost dismissed the product because of the 2 1/2 stars rating, that is until I noticed that most of those reviews had nothing to do with the product. The majority of the one stars came from either Greenpeacers protesting against Amazon (the company, not the phone) or people complaining about that the phone only works on AT&T;, which is exactly as it was advertised. Take out the Greenpeacers, misguided reviewers who slammed the phone because it is an AT&T-only; product, and folks who for some reason think a company should not attempt to make money by making it easy to purchase content and services from the handset maker, and you have a solid four-star rating; and as an AT&T; contract-required device, I'd agree with the 4 stars.

But after one day with the product, given the price point and value, I'm giving the unlocked version of this phone 5 stars. Here's why:

First, if you are Prime, or considering being a Prime member, the phone is 99 bucks for both the already-Prime customer and the non-Prime customer because either way, you get Amazon Prime free for one year. Prime gives me free two-day shipping, and includes a vast array of included books, video, music, cloud storage, and audible books among other stuff which I had been consuming on my Kindle tablet. Then I got Fire TV and that blew me away. Point is, to me, there's really no reason for a middle class family with a mailbox and electricity to not have Amazon Prime, so again, the phone is $99 if you consider the free Prime, and I consider that value in my rating.

You will not find a smart phone anywhere in the world with these specs at this price. Super-fast processor, high quality camera and display, great sound, and easy access to Amazon media and shopping. I've found native maps every bit as user friendly as Google maps or iphone maps.

At first I was annoyed because there is no "back" functionality, but then I called Mayday and the agent demonstrated by taking remote control of my screen that Fire phone doesn't use a "back" button, instead, just swipe up from the bottom of the screen. "Swipe-up is the new back". After figuring that out, the UI was easy to adapt to when I followed this rule of thumb: "If you can't find what you are looking for on the screen then swipe left, right, up, or down, and you will probably find the button or screen you need. It's all there, hidden off to the side, and Amazon has revolutionized that concept of off-screen, invisible menus. This is an under-rated feature.

I saw a lot of reviews complain about the UI, but they could have done the same thing I did and spent one minute to tap the Mayday button and get a live person to appear on their screen and demo anything on the phone that they want to know about. That is truly amazing customer service and beats standing around an Apple store for 20 minutes trying to get someone's attention.

The twist thing is pretty cool as well, twist left or right and see "hidden menus". Voice commands are not as extensive as Siri, but for calling and surfing functions, no problem.

So the dynamic perspective is gimmicky and not really that useful in a lot of places especially since I don't game. I agree, but...for $99, you're not paying extra for it anyway.

The camera is good quality and once you log in to your Amazon account, your photo and video content is auto-uploaded to your Amazon Cloud drive automatically and for free. A perfect solution for those who tend to lose their pictures forever when they lose their phone.

I was disappointed that some of my favorite apps were missing from the Amazon app store, like Scottrade and Redfin to name two, but most of my old iphone apps were there.

Frankly, I got tired of Apple's poor customer service and how every product that I've ever bought from them goes to crap after a year of two and their solution is to always to ask me to pay for sw upgrades or sell me their new product. I don't want to pay for a software upgrade to make my Facetime work again. I want my Facetime to work on my 2-year-old iphone and my 3-year-old IMac without paying again. When something doesn't work, I want to tap a button and complain to an agent who will do every thing they can to help me, for free. That's why I took a chance with the Fire phone and so far...so good. Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars $199 plus a free year of Prime? I'll bite the bullet. November 28, 2014

By Chris

Verified Purchase

Was planning on upgrading my iPod touch this holiday season, but I saw that there was now an unlocked Fire Phone. For $199 I could get a 32GB iPod Touch, or a Fire Phone.

I can play music on both devices.

I can stream music on both devices over WiFi (I don't use data, so mobile streaming wasn't a factor).

I purchase more music through AmazonMP3 than I do iTunes. I dig the Free Prime Music, as well. Not sure if that is on the iOS app.

The Camera ability on the Fire Phone is far superior, not only because of the megapixels (13mp vs 5mp), but because it has FLASH.

The built-in audio playback is significantly better on the Fire Phone.

Free year of Prime with purchase of Fire Phone (phone is essentially $100 at this point). My Prime was up next month, so I essentially saved $99 going with Fire Phone over iPod.

I have the option to buy a data package and use mobile internet if I choose, with Fire Phone. No such option with an iPod.

It was really a no brainer to choose Fire Phone in my case.

Dynamic Perspective is interesting. I only received the phone about 5 hours ago, so I haven't gotten a whole lot of time to check out features and secrets. I will say, all the tilting shortcuts are nice, but a little tricky at first. I could live without them, but I'm sure they will become second nature.

Take the 1 star reviews with a grain of salt. Those people seem to have their own agenda, which doesn't seem to involve owning the product and giving an actual review. Amazon did not delete reviews. This is a separate listing from the AT&T; phones and this Unlocked GSM product version was released on Nov 25, 2014. Read more ›
