I bought the $199(on "sale"? now) Kindle Fire Phone(Today!) unlocked and will be using Aio/Cricket.(Love Them!) Is this the plan I should use? Advice?

I have had nothing but good experiences using Square Trade plans. For me, they have been quick to respond and nice to deal with. Don't forget to follow any instructions they give regarding registering your purchase with them.

Good question. It is available for Android, but is not on the "apps for Android" page on Amazon. This would lead me to believe it is available for most Android devices, but might not be available for Kindle Fire. You should definitely try downloading the app before you purchase the kit, just to be safe.

K. Kaleel is definitely correct on the price. Oppo itself charges $999 for this unit, and XP Wholesalers has marked it up to $1280. The alleged $1499 price is definitely bogus. DON'T buy from them ! Get it direct from Oppo Digital, unless we can get Amazon to sell it themselves for less than the $999 (I'm going to try).

Yes! Love the phone. And I'm with T-Mobile on the $30/mo pre-pay plan (no taxes or fees added): unlimited texting, 5 GB data, and 100 mins. You have to call them to get this deal. No matter what plan you get you will need to get the SIM Starter Kit $10, but when I called them they waived the $10 for me. Enjoy your phone!

Good move. Make sure you get a multi band so that you can use it when you return. 20 euros to get it unlocked in a years time. 0.99p for a SIM in most news shops. O2 phone was 69GBP (UK pounds)

If you use Amazon apps you should be able to download it from there. Its listed under "my devices" and on you computer you would be able to see if you can use the app or not (when you download from the device itself it just won't download it). I've tried downloading HULU but it won't let me...when I got online I saw that its only available to Kindle Fire. Hope this answers your question! lol

You just buy the phone from Amazon... I chose Amazon because I have Prime and the price was low... or buy from Verizon then choose a pre-pay. I use Anytime Minutes which is $0.99 a day (only when you use the phone) and $0.10 per minute, nothing else. This suited me but there are other plans as well... just go to Verizon and look at pre-paid and live chat with a rep and they'll explain it fully.

I suggest returning it and going with a used Kindle Fire or Fire HD. You will not get far with this item. Plus, it has no resale value. Electronics that you can't sell to someone else in a year or 2 end up in landfills.

i believe so. i just upgraded and got this in the mail today. i entered my information as a "existing customer," and after entering my info and purchasing the phone, i got an email from amazon saying the following... " Congratulations, Cingular Wireless has notified us that you are eligible to upgrade to a new phone with a contract extension through Amazon.com. We are proceeding with your order and you will receive a ship-confirmation e-mail once your order has shipped." I have yet to be charged that scary $250 fee or recieve notice otherwise, so I assume all is well!. I guess the way that they do this is that if you are eligible to upgrade, by purchasing this phone, you are back on a 2 yr contract with them- so they offer you a discount on the phone in doing this. Hope this helps! I was scared too- just read read read for answers- good luck!

I noticed this too. I also went to ATT's site and set up a mock plan which does have the option. I'm looking to switch and am wondering if I sign up through Amazon will I be able to go in store and switch to the $30 unlimited messaging family plan? This guy doesn't want to get hosed 120 bucks a year for signing up on Amazon.

I'm trying to pair with a Fire HD at the moment, but I can't get the pairing input code to work. At the moment, I'd have to say not compatible... but it seems like it's really, really close. I'll update if I can get it to work - the problem lies in entering the pairing code on the controller.Edit - no way to use on kindle. The only icade device that works with kindle is the 8 bitty controller... And good luck finding games that support it :)

I ordered my cm7 sd card from Nook Unlocked here on Amazon. It's a bit cheaper than N2A. I had an issue getting on my home wifi but resolved it be changing the encryption on the router. Other than that it has been smooth sailing with the nook and cm7. So many apps you can try for free to see if they fit your needs. So far I've got my family organizer, email, budget, games, news, my favorite websites bookmarked in addition to my books. It's really like a mini laptop you can carry in your purse. I bought a refurbished one from ebay and put in the SD card and haven't looked back.

As of today (7/17/13) LG customer support tells me, with a measure of vagueness, that they are "concluding a contract with Amazon to provide connectivity to more LG players, and a software update will be coming out mid-July." By my lights, it IS the middle of July. This sounds like BS to me. LG agent was vague about recognizing my particular unit (label on back reads "LG BD572 Aug 2010", clear as day). Amazon customer support agent, equipped with same HW information, attempted to talk me through the process, took me down the exact-same avenues I'd already explored, arrived at the identical impasse I'd arrived at: inability to get LG device to cough-up a five-digit "access code". Do any of these bozos know what they are talking about, re the HW/SW products they are taking our perfectly-good money for????

Do not buy it for this much! There are people that try to make alot of money on innocent buyers! Which is definitely not fair to buyers like us. After about 6 weeks, the hype of the new phone will die down and the price on 3rd party sites will go back down to about $350. This phone is not available from Amazon just yet but will be in the coming weeks, according to Amazon. If I was you, I would buy it straight from the Google Play Store. The 16GB is $350 and the 32GB is $400 unlocked and contract free. Here is the link to their website: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_5_black_16gb Right now they are shipping in 1-4 weeks according to their website. Or wait until amazon officially sells it (It will say "Prime Eligible" or "Sold by Amazon") I hope I helped! Let me know if you need any other questions answered about the Nexus 5! I would be happy to help.

Choose one of Cingular's data plans that fits closest to your usage (all of the plans are fairly pricey). If you only want data service, I know for a fact you can to do so at a Cingular store. It may be possible through Amazon, but I haven't attempted to do so. Beware that Cingular stores currently offer this device for $399.99 w/2 yr agreement, versus Amazon's excellent $199 price.

J.Thomas. Thanks for the comments. I posted under "Amazon Cingular 8525" then saw your post here. I agree - customer service is in India somewhere and they barely speak emglish! I was debating on ordering from wirefly or amazon or biting the bullet and paying extra at the cingular store. Getting the rebates seems quite unvolved and I am SURE the reason it is that way is to avoid paying out as many rebates as possible.

I have Kindle 3 and Kindle Fire HD. I never thought I'd be sold on anything else once I started using my kindle fire, but the iPad mini just blew them out of water. I was able to download the Amazon Prime video streamer app and the Kindle app works far more superior than the Kindle Fires because you have a choice of highlight colors AND page turning animation. There are many more apps to choose from, so, my suggestion is to get a 32gb iPad mini and enjoy the best of both worlds, if you can. It may cost a bit more, but you'll be happier...believe me.
