Amazon Fire Phone now available in AT&T stores

By
The Amazon Fire Phone is officially available in stores at AT&T and online via Amazon.com. AT&T is the only carrier selling the Fire Phone, so those with Verizon, T-Mobile, or Sprint are out of luck.

AT&T is selling the infamous Fire Phone for $199 with a two-year contract, but you can also get it for $27.09 a month, if you prefer to get a contract-less AT&T Next plan. The 64GB version will cost AT&T Next customers a bit more, with installments of $31.25 a month.

Although the Fire Phone may seem pricey, considering its midrange specs and unorthodox software, it does come with a free 12-month subscription to Amazon Prime and 1,000 Amazon Coins, which amounts to $10 of free apps from the Amazon Appstore. The Fire Phone also features Dynamic Perspective, which creates the illusion of a 3D interface; Firefly, which uses cameras to recognize products and directs you to Amazon’s online store to buy them; and Mayday, the company’s ever-popular 24/7 video support network.

So far, reviews for the Fire Phone have ranged from dismissive and downright critical, to mildly confused and cautiously supportive. Demand for Amazon’s first smartphone is also low, according to the Wall Street Journal. J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth predicts that Amazon will sell just 2 or  3 million Fire Phones in the U.S. before the end of 2014. In comparison with the 2.7 million iPhones Apple sold each week worldwide in the most recent quarter, Amazon’s projected sales look dismal. However, the publication is quick to point out that 2 to 3 million Fire Phones sold isn’t actually too bad, considering the fact that this is Amazon’s first smartphone.

If you want to know more about the device before you head to AT&T, you can read all about the Fire Phone in our “everything you need to know” post. A Digital Trends review of the Fire Phone will be released shortly, but you can check out our hands-on post in the meantime.

Arc Search, one of the best iPhone apps right now, just got even better
Arc Search's Call Arc feature.

One of our favorite iPhone browser apps has just introduced an interesting new feature. Arc Search’s new "Call Arc" tool functions similarly to making a phone call on your iPhone 15 Pro or other iPhone. Instead of speaking to someone on the other end of the line, though, you ask Arc to answer your queries. The outcome is fresh and unique, and it actually works really well.

Before its latest software update, Arc Search already offered a voice search feature. The AI-powered Call Arc is different and designed for people on the go who are looking for quick answers to short questions.

Smartwatches and cameras rarely go together very well. We’ve seen smart wristwear with cameras fitted in the past, but the combination wasn’t very successful, and few manufacturers even bother today.
