Fantastic unlocked phone! As good as an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy or Note

I had this phone for two years until i tripped and fell with it in my hand and shattered the glass. It was definitely the best phone I have had since the smartphone platforms were released. Granted it was neither android or iPhone, it was in my opinion just as high quality as an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy or Galaxy Note android. It had an excellent camera and took better photos than both of those brands of phones. Though it didnt come with Google play store on the phone as it was a Kindle product, limiting the available applications, there is what is called a side door trick allowing you to get the Google play store. Not having play store seemed to be people's only real issue with the phone, which was corrected by simply watching a YouTube video that walked you through putting play store on the phone. The first fire phone I purchased new from Amazon, then after loving it so much, I ordered a refurbished here on eBay for my teenage son who also says it was the best phone he ever owned. This was a fast phone with lots of memory space without all the preloaded apps that take up half of the 64 gig memory. I was really disappointed when Amazon didn't make a fire phone 2. The only reason i didnt replace the Fire phone is because I switched from Family Mobile, which allowed unlocked phones, to MetroPCS which didnt. If i could, I'd still have this phone even though it is now about 3.5 years old. Other reviewers call this phone a flop, I whole heartedly disagree. Even now, I'd say this phone is better than any other unlocked phones on pay as you go plans. I will get this phone again if MetroPCS straightens out it's issues with unlocked phones.Read full review
