The failure of Amazon's phone is largely attributable to the fact they designed a phone _for Amazon_ and not for end users. They became too enthralled with the buy from Amazon experience. Anyway I don't think anything Amazon did is useful in terms of this discussion.

Not just looking at the phone, though, even the tablets (kindle fire) are crippled because FireOS is subpar to stock Android in virtually every way that matters.
