My problem is the price: at $199 with contract is going against a lot of much better phones.
The eye tracking is nothing new and 3D as a sale gimmick crashed and burned years ago and I don't amazon doing anything revolutionary with it here.
If it were $200 unlocked then I can see it selling like crazy, but the current plan makes no sense, if amazon was providing the service as a MVNO and offered stuff like truly unlimited data and stuff then maybe, just maybe, but $199 for this phone and on AT&T? PASS....
