    Guess it depends on what it runs off of and how much bloatware is on it.

    No, I probably wouldnt. Android 4.0 with Kindle app and Amazon MP3 app and Amazon app do the same thing. If it's like the fire then it's an handicapped Android. and I don't want that.

    I would consider an Amazon smartphone if it has all or most of the following:
    1. a microSD slot
    2. prepaid no-contract options
    3. priced below $150
    4. its battery life last as long as a feature phone
    5. micro or regular sized HDMI output

    Naitch, dude. Unless it makes it on the CynagenMod 10 supported device list, then maybe.

    I would have to say no until more information about it comes out.

    I might, but anything would be an improvement over my last phone (HTC Touch Pro 2 with Win Mobile 6.5). I was set to get the Galaxy S3, but I've been using the iPhone 4S, and it's really starting to grow on me. I might just have to wait until the iPhone 5 comes out for my new phone.

    Nope. Not unless it's going to run Windows Phone 8.

    No. I can see there being a market for it, but I wouldn't want a crippled Android phone.

    No way would I buy one after having had the kindle fire for a few months. Its just going to be a phone with good specs and sold as a loss leader, but handicapped so you can't even get apps from the goog playstore and everything must be done though amazon. No thanks amazon. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
