Project B veteran reporting! Everyone I worked with on Fire Phone knew it was doomed.

  Why did they give it such mediocre hardware and old software?

    I can only make informed guesses. My feeling is the phone was shipped as a contractual obligation on both sides. Think the Microsoft kin phone and Verizon as an analog.

    It was delayed a looooong time and the hardware/OS was locked fairly early. If it had been released when originally planned, it would not have felt so old. I still don't think it would necessarily have rocked the world; too many other issues.
