Amazon's Fire phone drops to 99 cents on contract

[Jeffrey]

We had a few problems with Amazon's Fire phone, but one of the biggest was its steep asking price; $200 on contract (or $650 off) is a lot to pay for mid-range hardware with perspective effects thrown in. That won't be a problem after today. The online retailer has just slashed the price of its first handset down to 99 cents on a two-year AT&T contract, or $449 if you want to go contract-free. You'll still get the year's worth of Prime membership and unlimited cloud storage, to boot.

Amazon hasn't explained the sudden drop. However, you don't normally see this kind of discounting just six weeks after a product launch.

They're desperate. And I'm willing to bet they spent more money on commercial time too because I swear I'm seeing those Amazon Fire phone commercials more frequently.

Giant fail.
