Is the app store for the phone the full android app store or is it the watered down shitty version of it that you see on the kindle fires and what not?

really thinking of switching from iphone to the fire phone but this would be a deal breaker if it doesn't have the full android store

They "water it down" so that you don't moan after downloading a program not compatible with your device..

Now I think you're trolling

You mean Play store, or the Amazon apps ?

not trolling. I love my iphone, just have a kindle fire and pre-ordered the fire stick and was thinking about maybe going all amazon

I just want to know that I'll be able to download all the things someone with a galaxy phone or whatever can. does that make sense?

No play store, just amazon app store.

You will have no ragrets if you get the fire phone on contract for 2 years.

Even the Galaxy has a brand specific store...

Yes, there will be things you could get on other android phones that you will not be able to get on the Fire Phone...

Can you root a fire device and side-load the play store?

Why bother? Why not just get a better android phone that will cost less?

I'm on Verizon, so couldn't even get the Fire phone if I wanted to. I was just curious about rooting it.
