Amazon just slashed to 99 cents the price of its phone
Quote:
Amazon has given up on trying to get you to pay $199 for the Fire Phone with a contract. Now the retail giant has brought the price down -- way down.
The Fire Phone, Amazon's first and only mobile phone, will now be available for just 99 cents with a two-year contract, the company announced on Monday. Available exclusively through AT&T, the deal also comes with a one-year membership to Amazon Prime and unlimited cloud storage for photos.
It didn't live up to the hype. Hardly anyone has purchased the phone thus far, so it's not that surprising that Amazon's severely slashing the price. Amazon reportedly sold fewer than 35,000 Fire Phones in the first 20 days that the phone was available. In comparison, Apple sold around 9 million iPhone 5S and 5C's in the first three days that they went on sale.
Record?
