Help with Amazon Fire Phone

[gobler]

Got one free and am now trying to set it up. I cannot get the Tapatalk app for it and that sucks. I need to use the browser interface any one have it and can offer help?

Please no "it's garbage, take it back" comments. It was a gift from my BIL. He is also paying for the service through his work so I really cannot complain.

Root it then load Google Apps and anything else you want.

This looks complicated.. my concern is I will void it or worse ruin the phone. I know it's a T-Mobil account so will that mess it up?

THAT is one reason to not get a Linux-based-non-iPhone... you can mess it up (at least once), replace the phone (at open box price) and still pay less than a new iPhone for the new AND old one together... for better devices (just like a REAL PC too).

The beauty of T-Mobile is they don't care what you put your SIM in, as long as you are paying for data, UNLIKE VZW, ATT, and Sprint (well, and Boost too) because they will start charging you, or make you activate an old phone w/data even if you don't want it (unless something has changed, but I doubt it).

I don't like iphones. As I wrote above this was a gift so, not gonna complain too much. Gust trying to figure out how to install tapapalk and google store apps.

Well, I was able to get things working. I now have all but one of the apps I wanted; I think I need to get it from the web site directly.. but all in all yep, works well.
