At $99 unlocked, they can't pull off more than a Moto E or so, not even Moto G levels. Amazon can only subsidize so much. And the phone isn't the best device for content consumption, other than music, but music is cheap, and most people don't buy songs anymore these days. I think they should've done one around the Nexus 5 level in terms of specs, and since it's coming 9 months later, it should cost like $299, or even $249, while still having that great camera. And sell it worldwide, unlocked. I think that would've been a much better strategy for them. The phone itself already is around Nexus 5 level, but with lower res screen, cheaper components except for the camera. Then take out those 4 cameras and AT&T's cut, and it should've been very doable. At $200 on contract, or $600 unsubsidized (not even unlocked), it makes very little sense to buy one just for that parallax effect, which will be cool for like 2 days, and then you'll get bored with it.
