It had been rumored many, many times that Amazon was working on a smartphone. A couple of months back the online retail giant finally showed off its first handset called the Amazon Fire Phone. It is exclusive to AT&T in the U.S. and will be launched in its first international markets, UK and Germany, starting September 30th.

I feel bad for the people who paid $199 for the Amazon Fire Phone with a 2 year contract before the $1 deal.
think the Amazon Fire Phone might as well be given away for free with a 2 year contract since Amazon isn't going to earn much from the $1 price of the phone, and they probably earn more when more people with Amazon fire phones buys a $1-5 App from the Amazon App store, or an MP3, TV show, or movie from Amazon's digital download store.
