Echo dot is good for playing music from Amazon prime music, basic stuff like asking questions on weather, jokes, setting alarms and reminders. Don't expect much and you would be happy.

It cannot call mobile numbers in India unless they have Alexa app installed. It also cannot control fire TV stick in India. Like the BS given by it's customer service executive that India is a developing country, it seems Amazon believes it can dump half baked features in India at costs comparable to the western world. It's not like Amazon is giving away stuff for free. Give us all the features available for this device.

In its present avatar in India, echo dot is a just a fancy toy which you do not need as 90% of the functions can be performed by your Android smartphone out of the box.
