Hi Friends ,
I want to buy amazon fire phone. i have few questions.
how & where to buy the phone
what are the customs paid in india
what is the name of the seller from where you brought
how is the mobile : new , sealed , opened , Used
what is the price of the mobile
in how many days you received the mobile.
Please your view , experiences & suggestion.
Amazon Prime was something I was going to renew anyway for $108.25 after tax. For $31.74 more I got The 32 GB phone unlocked new, an okay charger, an okay set of earbuds, and a damn solid USB cable. Anyone know how much longer people that buy new amazon phones have to redeem their 1-year offers, because I'm seriously tempted to buy another...
Also I'm trying to side-load the play store but running into white screens, any ideas?
We don't get the prime offer in the UK but I was tempted to get another fire for my wife as its so much better than anything else for the money.
You might need a specific version of gapps. Or try clearing cache and data once it's installed.
Here's my final solution to white screen problem with ATT locked FP from my thread.
1.Factory Reset
1.Root with Kingroot>
2. Install Safestrap
3. Flash the flashable 4.6.1 stock image with a flashable SuperSU
4.Install google services apk
5.Profit:good:
Make sure you disable the 2 System Updates, Amazon Device Client, DCP Platform Contracts.

phone is rock solid so is the new CM11 ROM
I got rid of the back/home/list button strip to get more screen real estate.. paid 140 with prime. cancelled netflix for amazon video so some more savings there.. great deal

Not sure what you are asking. When you buy the phone with a free year of Prime, the free year is redeemed immediately i.e. if you don't have Prime right now you start getting a free year immediately, and if you already have Prime you get another year added whenever your current membership is added. As far as I know, if you buy 3 phones you get 3 free years but you get them added to your account now, you don't redeem them later.
You can't, for example, get a Fire Phone this week and then redeem your Prime membership in 3 months. However you can give a NEW Fire Phone to someone else and they get the membership. I bought my daugher a Fire Phone for her birthday, but I bought it with my account so she wouldn't get any emails or see it in her devices etc. As soon as we got the Fire Phone we called Amazon and had the phone (and the free year of Prime) moved to her account.
If you are asking, how long will Amazon keep offering the free year of Prime with a Fire Phone? The answer is, only Amazon knows.

Buy a new phone, and don't decide to right away activate it.
So example, if you buy a new Toshiba Encore Windows 8 tablet that came with an offer for free $25 Windows Store Credit on eBay, no matter what time of the year you bought it, you had/have until October 31 2015 to register your tablet and get the credit. So if I bought the tablet inMarch, as long as I didn't redeem the offer, I still had months before I reached the deadline for the offer.
Now I bought a Fire Phone on eBay, and almost immediately activated the phone and got my 1 year of prime extended. Now assume sometime in the near future I buy another Fire Phone, new, with the promise that it comes with another year of prime. About how long do you have to turn it on/redeem the offer before Amazon no longer authorizes their offer? If you didn't buy your phone through Amazon, but through a reseller, the serial # to that phone wouldn't automatically be registered to your Amazon account, you'd have to set it up...
But theres going to be a point in time when registering un-opened/un-used phones will no longer authorize an approval for 1-year of Prime requests. I'd like to know when that deadline is so I could plan gift-giving around it, or avoid future "New" Fire Phones with promises of a free year of prime.
Chocolina, I have not seen amazon clarify, and I couldn't find an answer on the internet. I SUSPECT that if you buy a fire phone from Amazon and specify that it is a gift, Amazon will be contractually obligated to offer a free year of prime whenever the final user decides to activate it. That obligation would exist because Amazon told you that the phone comes with a free year of prime. You really need to read the fine print if you plan on buying a fire phone now but not gifting it soon.
On the other hand, Amazon may have a different deal with bulk resellers (ie the reseller may be told their phones only have a free year until a certain date), and then amazon man not be obligated to offer the free year.
FYI a few months ago the fire phone had an OS update and Google apps didn't work anymore. There were a couple of weeks with much pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth until people got them working again. Given that another update may break Google apps again, possibly permanently, a fire phone may not be an ideal gift.

Just got mine as well, haven't even connected it to WiFi yet. Can I disable these apps prior to rooting, or do I need to root to disable them?
It's all time low today. $120 on ebay with prime.
It seems like Amazon successfully selling all of the Fire Phone inventory, at last.
I tried to buy one since it gets as low as $139 last week unlocked, including a year with prime. The problem is there is no sign of the next-gen fire phone. And how long will amazon keep supporting Fire phone, or at least release the sources for developers:
The link below shows there is no more fire phone available:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...eld-keywords=fire+phone&rh=i:aps,k:fire+phone
you can get it on ebay with the warranty and year of prime for $135 now. I got it 2 days ago and it was $125 so you can still get it just not on amazon
I am living in South Korea.

Found this on r/oneplus Reddit.
Bought one flip cover and one transparent one.
Fulfilled and Sold by Amazon India (cloudtail). Solimo is amazon's private label brand. Not sure if this is a discount or pricing error.
Thats nice. I like the clear case they gave with the phone though
