This phone will find a market amongst amazon addicts. While not bleeding edge, specs are somewhat solid[0].
However what set Kindle Fire apart from competition and allowed it to gain foothold in the market was competitive pricing, I see none of that here. Amazon is obviously making a bet that software they are shipping with the phone will be a killer feature that will overcome the shortcomings, I do not think broader market will agree.
[0] Until you look at the price and AT&T only lock in, considering that, specs are mediocre at best.

If the barriers to get users to spend money are lower on Amazon's phone, then this is exactly the right move to capture developer and content producer mindshare for their ecosystem!
- TrainedMonkey 12y agoGood point, made the edit to clarify that I meant that I do not think that software alone as a killer feature would be enough, considering the price of the phone.
