The Amazon Fire phones reviews are coming in now.

No surprises really. Seems like the reviewers are not impressed. It's great for buying stuff from Amazon, not so great for much of anything else.
Firefly apparently is hit and miss on identifying stuff and needs work.
Dynamic Perfective sometimes is neat, other times gets in the way and is said to feel gimmicky and they'd prefer to just turn it off.
The Fire OS UI is confusing and unintuitive (the home screen looks a bit messy).
The camera is good at low light, but is slow.
And the app selection is limited (no Google Play), but I think the geekier people can side load apps.
And if all that wasn't enough, you can only get it on AT&T.
