Amazon at this point is doing everything to get people to buy its Fire Phone short of knocking on their doors, handing them a gadget, and paying them a few bucks to take it.
The company has just sliced $250 off the price of an unlocked phone, meaning you can now get one for just $199. The price reduction was spotted by Recode.
That’s a pretty big drop from the original unlocked price of $649.
