but apparently sales of it in the US haven't exactly set the world on Fire!

£400 seems way too high!

I'm not expecting Amazon to sell these phones like hot cakes, but that survey is flawed. 41% of Amazon users in the US are Prime members. This survey was taken from only 500 Prime members??

They did have to drop it from $200 to $1 (subsidised) coz they couldn't sell it.

Given its 'showrooming' phone designed to sell you shiz from Amazon it should be free...

I would expect the phones to sell SIM free for £100-150 with option of buying without O2 if they want to even dream of selling a significant number.

Even better!
