The Fire Phone is now expanding to the UK and Germany.UK page Germany page
This should go with yesterday's Fire Phone blog entry but it's already too large.
Bloomberg gives details under the headline "Deutsche Telekom, O2 Agree to Sell Amazon’s Fire Phone in Europe":
"Amazon will begin selling the devices on Sept. 30 in the two countries in deals with Deutsche Telekom AG (DTE), Germany’s largest carrier, and Telefonica SA (TEF)’s O2 brand in the U.K. Customers can pre-order the smartphones starting yesterday."As seen on the product pages, they're available for pre-order there already.
The eteknix site reports that the phone has been updated and improved since its initial launch and that the "battery life has been improved upon as well and said to give around 10-15% more duration now. The Amazon OS will get an update to its speech recognition software upon launch to handle the different British accents it’ll have to deal with now."
See yesterday's Fire Phone article for details on what's included with the phone.
