I just read about this phone last night and it says will be available in July, according to what I read its accessible so to all of you real techy savvy users your thoughts opinions?

I'd have to have hands on experience with it to give one.
I think Amazon on any score has bitten off more then they should. One company can't do everything well, so should stick to what they know best.

It has rather blah specs, and its exclusive features don't really interest me. Just
like with amazons fire tablets, these things are means of selling you all kinds of
stuff from amazons market place first, phones/tablets second. Its brilliant from
the standpoint of making amazon money, but honestly, the user experience
really doesn't look compelling enough to me, or many other people that have an
interest in tech that I know, to bother.

Its depends on what one consider as "accessible". From what i read so far, from different sites and pre-release accessibility review of the products, also the history and records of Amazon Kindel Fire line in terms of accessibility is concern, i would say, perhaps it is not a phone for beginner. However, as quite a nerdy head around, i will be interested to have a play on it.
I think if Amazon decided to play the game of Accessibility, they got to play it right. No half hearted work as far as accessibility is concern. Their Kindel Range has been quite successful for the partially sighted user, using it as ann E-Reader. But, it definitely needs more than that to successfully tab in to the accessibility world, specially with blind and vision impaired market.

I'd be interested in spending some hands-on time with it, but I don't see myself ever owning one.

Post 2, Apple's done the same thing to a point.
And, in terms of accessibility, I don't care much for the phone, but I'd have to have a hands-on experience before commenting.

Ho so? Apple only makes electronics.
They aren't selling clothes, food, books, they do have music, but they don't create it. You get the picture.

Sorry, meant post 3, not 2, though Apple does take care of the user experience, I give you that.

A friend and I went to an AT&T store recently and I got to see a Fire Phone. We couldn't figure anything out as far as accessibility. Though I do admit, the feature to be able to show the phone something on TV and it's apparent capability to find whatever it is you're watching, is rather cool. That's the only interesting thing in my opinion.
