Amazon Stops Selling Fire Phone
An anonymous reader writes: Last June Amazon announced their Fire Phone, an Android device packed with interesting but questionably useful tech that left reviewers unimpressed. Now, just a few weeks after big layoffs in Amazon's Fire Phone division, the phone has gone out of stock globally and seems unlikely to return. GeekWire says it's "an indication that they've finally exhausted their supply and they don't have plans to manufacture anymore."

I remember that phone! That was supposed to be the Jesus phone! According to the hype, it was supposed to give you a spontaneous orgasm when you opened the packaging! And it would free us all forever and ever from the evil Google hegemony! Somehow I never got around to ordering one and lost track of it after it was released. So... how's that working out for them? ... Oh... wow that went down in flames quickly, didn't it? Let me guess, didn't deliver on the orgasm thing?
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?

Places other than Amazon sell dictionaries. You should consider acquiring one.
This article is pure nonsense (and yes, I work at Amazon). We're not crying at our desks - we have special rooms for that, for FSM's sake!
That being said, I think I've seen only one person with a FirePhone at _Amazon_. That's how popular they are...
