From the hardware it already plays in the luxury class where else puts some hundreds more on the table. I light a candle for those who once paid 450 euros, but that's so often throughout the technology sector, as users of the first hour you pay significantly more, depending on the device, the price often drops relatively quickly.
I had the FP not even on the clock, since I basically adjusting the filter to 4 stars and more in the search for products. Was then more random :-) If you read the many negative reviews (at least initially should do), you realize pretty quickly what these ratings. Reviews frustration because of the 10 Euro-error, frustration due Netlock and the OS.
Netlock is ne thing that is not great, you have to live with. Only one knows the VOR buying. Why then afterwards complained that this exists, I can not understand. If it does not fit the way it is, I buy what different or pays. Meanwhile, at least bought from Amazon devices are unlocked for free.
For comparison, I had a price equal Smartphone with Android 5.0 ordered, from the hardware, from her screen, sees no trick against FP and goes back.
So one gets here a very good smartphone fürn narrow Taler, which you should always have in mind.
Fire OS: Jupp, different ... You must admit it, then that's not so wrong and has already things that are very good. 3D is certainly first interesting, fun and not boring. The naked Andriod 5.0 was boring, cool. Here it is different, unpack and have fun. But it is also playful something you should know.
Often criticized connection to Amazon: Of course, that is because, what else? What in the world expect the people buy an Amazon smartphone? Clear link the products to Amazon, where else to go?
BUT: of course you can buy elsewhere. If I want to buy something from Amazon, I'll Amazon on when I want to buy what the planet Store 1-349, I'll do to this shop and not Amazon. So where is the problem to a surf shop of your choice and shop there? On an Apple, android etc to do that but also so? Here is a drama of it made as if this would not be possible ...?
Unfortunately, there are some limitations with regard to the configurability of the surface, as you unfortunately have to live with and hope that brings an update improvement. Even as you should again see the price, who wants more, some hundreds more must stop put on the table at about the same hardware.
The prospective buyers therefore has to decide what he wants. Affordable and complete freedom with good hardware does not exist. Conveniently there, weaker hardware performance, or significantly more expensive. Nevertheless, the German will always no. 1 :-)
What is solved very good, Mayday. Direct "call for help" from the FP to the Customer. At its finest! My FP is 1 day ago and I had to take advantage of already. Nice, quick, unbureaucratic, new FP will be sent tomorrow. There is a screen error I have not read here, so I go from a single case of the draws to be no devaluation. The exchange is also responsible for the now as "Verified" stands with me, so do not be surprised :-)
One tip: Here's looking for the "unofficial guide" costs zweifuffzich, there are many tips there on the first one does not come so quickly and the Fire OS is quite something else, saves a lot of time, especially since the FP in the popular forums is not as represented in terms tips and tricks.
