    ... 4.7-inch Gorilla Glass display with a HD resolution screen .... rubberized frame with aluminium buttons, a quad-core 2.2GHz processor, Adreno 330 GPU and 2GB of RAM. As for the camera, there's a 13-megapixel rear-facing one equipped with a f/2.0 lens and optical image stabilization ... the Fire Phone will indeed have a 3D interface. But unlike other 3D phones, that 3D interface will follow you around thanks to Fire Phone's unique head-tracking system that he calls Dynamic Perspective. It uses four cameras to do so, each with a 120-degree field of view and infrared light. They use a global shutter instead of a rolling shutter.

    $200 on contract? Bit of competition at that price, the should have sold it exclusively themselves off contract tbh. Have they a Sim free price yet?

    Much higher spec phones on the market for less money, it won't be a success on this side of the Atlantic I'm guessing

    Bit like Moto X....

    too dear, too much competition in this sector with better value phones.

    I like the idea of 4 cameras tracking my eyes. It's handy to gather info about how do I react to different ads to improve my "shopping experience" :eek:
