I don’t have any spare SIM cards lying around, but I do recall doing a brief test a couple years ago, and apart from some problems with SMS message formats, things seemed to work fine.
Unless you’re referring to WiFi, to which the answer is of course, as that’s how the time and date got set correctly. On boot it somehow thought it was an hour earlier and eight days ahead, but still on a Friday; I forgot to check which year, though.
Updates stopped at a special KitKat-based FireOS version, so most modern apps are likely broken. Dynamic Perspective never gave me a headache - it’s actually pretty well implemented - but it does get boring after ten to fifteen minutes.
I think I’ll charge one up and see how it’s doing!
This has exposed the sales numbers, and impressively, it’s sold even worse than the Fire Phone.
I forgot the Fire Phone was a thing.
I will never forget, and I will hold onto my Fire Phones (yes, plural) until the day I die.
Holy fuck they still work? Can you run any modern apps on them? Does the 3D give you a headache?
Update: Still Alive
Wow, that’s fucking awesome. Can you put it on a network?

Daaang, I forgot about the 4 (!!!) front cameras. Super creepy. Like, one is already bad and accepted but four…
The four cameras on the corner were lo-rez IR cameras used exclusively for head tracking for the Dynamic Perspective feature.
