Amazon phone vs Windows Phone

[final_fantasy781]

So with Amazon's new phone, do to think it'll pose a problem for Windows phone or other phones on the market? What in getting from this new phone is it will also have more adopts and games than WP. However, I don't believe the OS will be better than WP, but we'll have to wait and see.

Will most likely be an Android phone with amazon app store instead of google play.

Not to be a pain but there is a thread already asking this question. http://forums.windowscentral.com/up...will-microsoft-do-about-new-amazon-phone.html

I personally wouldn't worry about it. Only an ***** would buy the phone unless they plan to flash the ROM.

My apologies. It's easier to just ask the question than to search it.

I'm not worried about so much, but a new gimmick, like 3D... Viewer, could pose trouble for all phone developers. Yet, I haven't seen any specs for it, so I really have no idea.

It's priced high-end but it's not. Nobody would buy that for the hardware. It's worse priced than the Lumia 930...

the fire phone is a gimmicky phone with specific functionality for a specific group of people , a windows phone is a phone with no gimmicks and full functionality for most people . There is no threat

Amazon's not-actually-3D Fire: Bezos' cash register in YOUR pocket • The Register

Specs and stuff are there.

its a flagship. Why would you expect the 930 to be priced les? You cant do that.

i doubt it'll be a disaster like facebook phone was, but i don't see it gaining any traction. it doesn't really offer anything above the composition aside from the gimmicky 5 cameras.

Just another gimmicky Android phone that's filling up the market...wouldn't even worry about it

Nexus 5 internals (released over half a year ago) plus better camera plus wireless charging still doesn't bring it in the same price range as other high-end phones that are really high-end.

Also it runs Windows Phone, that makes it for most people less desirable and it should therefore be cheaper.

Nexus is Nexus, it's cheap because of Google but other Android phones aren't , atleast not so cheap. Nexus 5 is however really cheap, but that wasn't the case with Nexus 4 which costed about the same as Galaxy S3 back than for us who don't have access to Play Store. But I agree, Lumia 930 is overpriced. btw. Nexus also has wireless charging.
