HUKD is strange, same deal posted month ago and it was -140 deg cold haha http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/amazon-fire-phone-32gb-unlocked-94-98-laptopsdirect-2286315

herd mentality. If one person sees its cold..they are more likely to vote cold and vice versa.

Cold. Buy the Motola G Spot instead or whatever it's called.

There was a new update 2 days ago to OS 4.6.6 but seems to depend on your carrier if you get it, i am on BT mobile.

mine arrived a few days ago. fantastic phone in my opinion, very easy to load google play into it and then you can get every app you want. Sharp screen, great build quality, cool features. only negative I can find is the battery life could be better.

Bought one from laptops direct a few weeks ago. Phone is really good, solid build and pretty fast. Screen is also really good.

This phone doesn't appear to be for sale on the Amazon website. Old model?

nice ad for amazon on the reverse just the 'a' logo would be nice.

I really wanted to like this phone after rooting it but i just couldn't get used to it, sent it back after a few weeks, amazon happily refunded me, back to my Note 3 and 6+.

Decent phone on the face of it but Amazon's OS IS VERY restrictive, you can't even use the YouTube app for crying out loud

I got this phone (but 64GB) barely used from eBay in May for £60 - truly terrible signal with O2 network providers (texts would take days to arrive, calls were a no no) even after a brand new replacement from Amazon.

Best avoided especially if with O2.

Battery life was also awful - much happier on my Elephone P7000

This is a superb phone for the money, have owned for a few months now. Didn't bother rooting as I only use popular apps but good to know it can be done if needbe. I think the only reason these phones 'failed' commercially is that Amazon pitched the launch price too high. As has been said great battery life, crystal clear screen, tons of memory, only annoying aspect is the silly 3d graphics but you can turn these off really easily

Avoid this company, they have no customer service what so ever.

I've been using the excellently written CM11 ROM for this phone.
Longer battery life, fully compatible Google Play store, very stable.
Some features are missing (see link) but slowly on their way

Groupon currently have for £95 free delivery + 8% TCB. Going to give it a punt for this price!

This phone is terrible. The 3d effect is cool, but it is a mere gimmick being under utilized. It can be quite difficult to use, things are frustrating and it should be designed much better. It may suit you if you are used to the amazon fire tablet though. Much better phones at a similar price out there.

I have owned one for 4 months - good phone but no sign of new operating system being released to support it - 5.0. At least with android or iOS you get continued support

just ordered and I am very happy, because there no other hardware in market with this rich spec. it's worth every penny. certainly no second thought for £94

BUT I wanted an Amazon Fire (the £50 7" tablet) for my mum, but without all the Amazon-centric stuff. I had a new launcher on it, and Google Play and Google services within literally 30 minutes.

It didn't say it was for android novices! I am sure there are equivalent pages for the Fire Phone.

And now there is the Wileyfox ... http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/wileyfox-swift-4g-smartphone-99-99-amazon-today-only-2332327

Probably a stupid question, but is this Android or a custom OS?

Ah - I see you don't know much about it then. Thanks for your contribution.

anyone know how to root and get Google play store if running the latest fire OS and not 3.5.1? Thanks

Will give that a try.

Many thanks.

Got one of these phones when amazon were getting rid of stock. For the specs, the price is actually quite good ( I got the 64gb version for £99). Anyways, ran into some trouble with my fire phone yesterday, used the mayday app and since it couldn't be fixed I have a new phone landing on my door today!


It has been discontinued, but Amazon still have some set aside for existing customers if they need to be replaced for whatever reason.

I have this phone but find the volume with earphones too low (gym likes to play terrible dance music loud),anyone any tips to get it higher?

That's funny.
Wrong, but funny.

Best phone amazon ever made

Put on Slimkat or Cyanogenmod and you have yourself a very fast slick phone on your hands , this cab be done very easily just using the phone , you don't need a PC , there is an active community on XDA developers to help you out .
Heat added

Voted hot because I bought one for three times the price on launch,and I am going to try and sell it soon.A very reliable no problems whatsoever in past year phone.i would buy it again for £95.00.

​lol OK whatever u say, u can run a firewall access and remove bloat, the only real risk is if u lose your phone and someone finds it who knows how to get into root and amend security.

For the doubters... look up the specs for this phone - it is very hard to find anything near it for the price. The battery lasts a good 2 days for me, I have the Play store on mine and it runs happily the Google Now launcher. The camera is good at 13mp and I have masses of storage on mine for all my music and films. The twin speakers are a bit feeble - but the bundled magnetic, flat earphones are really pretty decent. Add in Amazon CS and I don't think anything comes too close. Hot.

No Google play

All phones should be under a £100.

It's a **** phone

Can you get apps directly from Play, or do you need to ffaff about side loading etc like you do on a kindle ?

i have one of these phones, watch the videos on how to use it and you will love it, the screen is amazing, its fast and works.. best phone for the money..

Cold. Buy the Motola G Spot instead or whatever it's called.

lol certainly not.

It enables you to access things you can't normally like having a custom hosts file to block adverts, remove apps that are built in and all kinds of other stuff it doesn't make your phone intrinsically any less secure than unrooted

can you get clash of clans for this thx

The usual ignorant comments from people with absolutely no real life experience of the phone. I bought one at £99 from Amazon a while ago and for the money it is an excellent, reliable phone. Anyone even considering purchasing should ignore the idiots and take the plunge. Excellent value at under £100. I use mine as a back up to an iPhone 6 and it compares very well. Great screen and battery life (when you turn off the 3d nonsense)

it works very well with the fire stick also

thought this OS was dead.

Must be the same idiots that continue to vote hot when the Samsung S3 Mini's & Tab 7's come up.

I bought one a few months ago at this price although different kind android beast it's so far very reliable and has a long battery but don't get it off laptop direct unless you have someone at your delivery address 24hrs a day because they charge for redeliery

looks pretty good for that money AND unlocked. just about the first time it's been worth considering!

Can it screen mirror with the fire stick?

Why would anyone consider buying one of these when there are much better alternatives for £100.

http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/mobile-phones/1401551/amazon-fire-phone-review-now-discontinued-still-worth-buying-for-cheap

How would it compare to a S3? Not to sure on the OS either, any one had an experience of it?

​removes all the locks on the phone so it becomes truly yours.

Can you install the freedompop sim+app into this?

was cold 64gb at £99 from amazon , people seem to have changed their minds.

Removes all security protocols and makes it as secure as windows 98SE.

We're these about this price when Amazon had them on special offer, and they were slated and don't make them any more so don't understand how this has become hot :disappointed:

I would not recommend freedom pop both my wife and myself can never get it to work, as for the phone Amazon has abandoned selling the phone I don't know if it is worth the risk.

got myself the 64gb version, was very average with the fire is, with cyanogenmod it is great, very stable and much faster

Look here if you just want the hardware to root

http://www.droidviews.com/easlily-root-amazon-fire-phone-using-towelroot/

seems a ceacking deal to me

if thats a phone company its sim free so i presume you can, as for the app unless you root it or it is on the amazon store then no.
