Amazon’s Fire Phone is officially as big of a flop as the Facebook phone

Perhaps true, but Amazon has the commitment to keep after it into they are successful. Bezos will endure losses and criticism whereas I don’t see Zuck being willing to do so. The mistake is to judge the Fire phone as if it has to drive units at the same level as a Samsung or Apple device. It doesn’t and probably never will. Eventually Amazon will find a sweet spot for their phone and make money on the commerce options along the way.
