Nothing here, other than a follow up email after my order confirming that I will indeed be receiving the 1 year of Prime deal.
The Echo device itself has been a pretty poor experience for me. Obscure error when trying to connect to my 5 GHz WiFi network, even when skipping DHCP and inputting connection details manually. A confusing iOS app, which also has some performance issues. A non-trivial connection to get it to control my Philips Hue lights, weird bugs with streaming music, and for the first two days I was getting the weather in Fahrenheit despite confirming the region a few times.
Really, I have little interest in it, just an impulse purchase to play around with. But it reminds me of a lot of other Amazon experiences: rushed out to the public in a mostly working state, without worrying about the polishing or streamlining.
The impressive points so far is the sound is better than I was expecting, and the microphone definitely has some range.
