Amazon had similar thoughts about its fire phone.

Was it as good as Fyre Festival?

Unironically: yes.

The hardware is old now, but you can still pick them up to tinker with for some cheap hardware.

But it was a massive commercial flop.

The entire Amazon fire line was weird. My computer lab teacher in high school was a fangirl for them, but like, they did nothing better than any of the alternatives and lacked even the trust windows phones had.

That phone was FIRE! No, that's not right...

I threw it INTO a fire! That's what happened. I was really drunk, but I still made that lucid decision. I saw a fire, and thought "You know what belongs in that fire?"

I don't recall this at all but I remember the Skype phone.

Wait whaaat? It must have been during the time I was obsessed with jailbreaking my iPhone. I never looked at any other phone so I had no idea that these things were available.
