Firefly is good at what it does. Not perfect
But good. Whether or not you should be or need to be impulse buying everything you see from Amazon
Firefly helps you do it
So long as physical things you are trying to buy generally include some sort of pack
Firefly and Mayday are useful tools
Amazon Prime
Unlimited cloud storage for photos included.

Fire OS is fine
But as an operating system for your primary mobile device
It is notably inferior to Android
IOS
Or even Windows Phone 8.1. The lack of Google apps is a big handicap
And the lack of robust alternatives (Windows Phone at least has all t

Lovely screen, fast processor, decent build quality, 4G, Mayday video support, oneyear Amazon Prime subscription
Camera could be better, no Google Play, user interface and gesture controls take some getting used to, battery life not great
The first Amazon Fire phone is a flawed device, but it's also unique and interesting. It's likely that as the innovations that set it apart continue to develop -- particularly Firefly and gesture controls -- we'll eventually be taking them for granted. ...
The Fire phone has a few things going for it, but far too many against it. The choice of apps is more limited than Android or iOS, and the hardware itself isn't exactly a bargain, even at the new lower prices. For roughly the same money on contract you co...
Abstract: The Amazon Fire Phone is now on sale with O2, following in the footsteps of Amazon's e-readers and Android tablets, and bringing with it the e-tailer's unique software services and 4G connectivity for even faster impulse purchasing. But is a Fire Phone re...

Abstract: There are so many smartphones on the market today sometimes it's hard to tell them apart, but if there's one thing you can safely say about the Amazon Fire phone it's that it's different.Not so much physically – in that sense it looks a lot like the Son...
Innovative software, Dynamic Perspective works well
Huge Amazon lock-in, Overpriced, No Google apps
The Fire Phone isn't a bad first effort from Amazon but there's little for non-Amazon loyalists to justify the hefty price tag.Next, read our best phones round-up or look at the iPhone 6 rumours...
Comfortable to hold, Dedicated camera button, Dynamic Perspective works, Gesture menus work well
Expensive for an Amazon gadget, Maps app is based on Nokia Here, New features appear gimmicky (so far), No access to Google apps, No access to Google Play Store
Amazon's Fire Phone has a lot of promise, but it's not ready for prime time yet. If you want to play with a Fire Phone right now, be prepared for a few burns. You're also probably going to want to upgrade your phone again next year, because the Fire Pho...
Great build quality, Impressive Dynamic Perspective feature, Good specs, Top, notch audio
Display is only 720p resolution, Some odd UI elements
First off, we can certainly say that anyone who is dependent on Google's services shouldn't be considering this handset. However, you probably already knew that. Who is this phone for then? That is the million dollar question, really. I absolutely love t...
Bright display, easy one-click shopping with Firefly, excellent Mayday customer service, snaps good low-light photos, great keyboard
Expensive for what you gets, camera sensors clutter the design, difficult navigation and interface, gimmicky Dynamic Perspective
If you have never played with an Amazon device before, i.e. a Kindle, then the Fire Phone will take you a while to master. It's an average looking phone with a couple nifty tricks either meant to sell you things or dazzle your eyes, but other than t...

Easy Amazon shopping, Decent battery life, 24/7 live tech support
Unintuitive UI, 720p display, Expensive
The Fire Phone has what you need for a modern smartphone to be acceptable. It has a high definition screen, though nowhere near the resolution of Android flagship devices. It also has a decent 13MP camera, though it's not on par with the likes of the LG ...
