Amazon put the rumors to bed on Wednesday and announced the Fire Phone, the company’s first smartphone.
The market is already full of high-end handsets, so it’ll be tricky for Amazon to stand out from the herd. But here are several things that the retailer hopes will get your attention:

Conquistou tudo na porrada, dependendo dele e só dele.
Tinha tudo para entrar para a história, derrubando conchavos, despindo o formalismo e a hipocrisia de muitas togas, subvertendo formas de ver o mundo, trazendo para o Supremo os ares da contemporaneidade e a marca altiva de sua cor e dos que conquistaram tudo sem nunca ceder.
