is it compatible with Canadian GSM Cell phones? like FIDO AND ROGERS.
How about Europe I travel to overseas and can I use local GSM SIM cards?

ok!!! FIREPHONE RUNS ALL THE ANDROID APPS PROPERLY!!!
apart the ones that using google servises which are not that many!!! how to do it?
1)open the browser.
2)google the name of the app you want to install followed with .apk ex.
snapchat.apk or
Youtube.apk download or
uk motorcycle parking. apk or
google maps .apk
3) now download this file.
4)using a file manager ( download one from amazon store) go and find the file you downloaded on your phone. is not that hard!! as soon as you find it at the fisrt place the rest of the files are going to be on the same place.
5) click on the apk file and install the app. and thats it really.
you can now delete the apk file. you can also download the apk files using your laptop. drug and drop the files to your phone and the run them. and they will be installed at your phone.
quite str8 forward.
i think you can install google play store with the same way but i havent done it yet just got the phone yesterday .
ALL THE ANDROID APPS ARE AVAILABLE ON FIREPHONE!!!!!!!

Being a professional into telecom industry, i always felt like the next big company that can challenge big players is Amazon - they proved me wrong.
I bought Amazon Fire Phone for 200$ through black Friday offer and now i feel like i wasted my money, its a complete failure. My feedback with one STAR are based on below observations
1- Hardware wise this phone is good but its OS suxs more than any thing. The their view is divide into carousel and main applications page which suxs, as it leaves no privacy for the user. Your last activity pops up out of no where.
2- Basic telephony i.e. making and receiving call is worst. You are not able to hear other side clearly. If you make call on speaker, you feel like other guy is speaking a language from ancient Rome. This phone is not fit for basic telephony either.
3- If you are on call and someone messaged in an other app your like Skype, it will ring Big Ben in your ear. I hate it!!!
4- Notifications on lock screen are worst. You hardly see any thing except missed call icon and email icon. User will miss notifications from other apps.
5- Dynamic perceptive as they advertise in their Videos is worst, it works only on their lock screen i observed.
6- If you use maps, never try this phone. Preloaded maps are worst than any thing - they cant even plot your location the map :(. There is not a single good maps application in their store. Even if you are a geek (like me) and managed to load Google maps by tricking fire OS, still they wont work.
Conclusion: I want to sale my phone after using it for 05 days. Are you interested?

What google does with android doesn't matter one bit. they dont have to match the specs of current phones or offer the same experience because theirs is unique. sideload any apps missing and youre good

With all due restect, this Amazon Fire phone is still Android v3.x A near obsolete version of Android. Very few 3rd party software companies are writing any updated versions.
