Amazon Preparing to Release Smartphone

I'd really love for Amazon to make a phone that uses the same eink screen as the kindle paperwhite. Just a basic, no frills phone with a similar long lasting battery life to the paperwhite.

No doubt if they are planning a smart phone though it'll be more similar to their Kindle Fire tablets which is fair enough, but hey I can dream..

Yes! Battery life is a killer feature for me. I'd be willing to sacrifice a lot of functionality for something that was as hardy and needed as little recharging as my kindle.

This would be really nice. E ink with LTE and tethering would totally make me happy.
