[Deal Alert] Titanium Gray Samsung Galaxy Note II On Sprint $229 (was $299) For New Customers From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, Galaxy Note II, News, Sprint

Amazon Wireless has been on a roll lately. Yesterday, they dropped the price of the Optimus G and a slew of Verizon phones, and today they've taken a bite out of the titanium variant of Sprint's Galaxy Note II for new customers. Originally $299, you can now score this powerhouse not-quite-a-tablet-but-more-than-a-phone handset for just $229 when you sign a new contract with The Now Network. Sorry current Sprint subscribers - you'll have to shell out $280 for this device.

Strangely, this deal is only for the titanium gray version and doesn't apply to the white one. The price may very well drop later to match that of the gray variant, but at the time of writing, it's still listed for $280.

[Deal Alert] Verizon's RAZR M Only $0.01 At Amazon Wireless; Many Others On Sale, Too [Updated]

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, Galaxy S III, News, RAZR / RAZR MAXX, RAZR HD / RAZR MAXX HD, RAZR M, Rezound, Verizon Wireless

Last Updated: January 24th, 2013

Update: Amazon just updated the deals and dropped many of the prices down for customers looking to upgrade. For example, the RAZR M is now also just a penny for those renewing.

If you're looking to abandon your existing carrier and move to Big Red, then the RAZR M is a great phone to choose for the transition. And now you can grab it from Amazon Wireless for only a penny (Black, White). That's a top-notch phone with Jelly Bean (4.1.x) for basically free - and it's still $99 at Verizon.

If, for some strange reason, you'd rather have an older model, Amazon Wireless is running a number of other devices for a penny, like the RAZR MAXX, HTC Rezound, and the DROID Incredible LTE.

[Deal Alert] LG Optimus G For AT&T And Sprint $99 ($100 Off) For New Accounts And Upgrades

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Deals, News, Optimus G, Sprint

If you're looking to save a hundred bucks or so on the powerhouse Optimus G from LG on either AT&T or Sprint, Amazon Wireless is the place to be. The company just dropped the price of the device for both carriers down to $99, which is a fairly substantial savings for such a high-end device, especially compared to the $199 that both Sprint and AT&T are asking.

For those who may not be aware, the Optimus G has the same hardware guts as the Nexus 4:

Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 quad-core at 1.5GHz
GPU: Adreno 320
Network Compatibility: AT&T: GSM quad-band with LTE, Sprint: CDMA with LTE
Operating System: Android 4.0.4 with Optimus UI 3.0
Display: 4.7" TrueHD IPS+ 768x1280 (320DPI, 15:9)
Memory: 2GB RAM / 16/32GB storage (depends on model)
Cameras: 1.3MP front, 8/13MP rear (depends on model)
Battery: 2100mAh, non-removable
NFC: Yes
Ports / Expandable Storage: microUSB / microSD (AT&T model only)
Thickness: 8.45mm
Weight: 145g

As noted above, the big difference between the two is in the area of storage: the AT&T model comes equipped with 16GB on-board, as well as a 16GB microSD card; whereas the Sprint version has 32GB with no microSD card slot.

AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II Drops To $249.99 ($50 Off) On Amazon Wireless

Posted by Ryan Whitwam in AT&T, Deals, Galaxy Note II, News

Do you have a hankering for a big phone? Before you answer, know that I'm talking about a massive mobile phone with a stylus here. Well, there's a big phone deal going on if you're willing to hitch your wagon to AT&T for two years. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Note II is on sale for just $249.99.

The Note II is selling for $300 or more on other carriers, and AT&T itself is still asking $300 from the unwashed masses. But you know better, right? Just head over to Amazon, and you can get the black or white version of the device and save fifty bucks.

[Deal Alert] Amazon Wireless Drops The EVO LTE To $20 And Galaxy S III To $50 For New Sprint Customers

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, EVO 4G LTE (Jewel), Galaxy S III, News, Sprint

If you're convinced that LTE is the way to go and aren't interested in picking up the Nexus 4, then Amazon Wireless is running a couple of deals right now for those who have been considering making the jump the Sprint.

First off, the HTC EVO LTE is now only $20. Twenty. Not a bad deal for such a solid phone, especially if you plan on installing CyanogenMod 10 on it. If you're not really the HTC type, though, the Galaxy S III was also on the receiving end of a price cut. You can now get this handset for $50 with a new two-year agreement.

[Deal Alert] HTC One X On AT&T Now $0.01 For New Customers From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Deals, News, One X (Endeavor)

There are two types of people in this world: those who stick with the same carrier for decades at a time, and those who jump from one to another in order get the best phones. If you fall into the latter category, now may be the time to head over to AT&T, because the HTC One X just dropped to a penny at Amazon Wireless.

Sure, HTC may have already announced the One X+ with AT&T as its exclusive provider here in the States, but that doesn't take away from what a solid device the original One X is right now.

Specs:

4.5" ColorBoost display with Gorilla Glass

8MP rear shooter, 2MP front camera
Android 4.0

This deal is good for both the white and black versions of the device, so pick your favorite, hit the appropriate link below, and enjoy your new phone.

[Deal Alert] AT&T's HTC One X Now $20 For New Customers At Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Deals, News, One X (Endeavor)

If you walk into AT&T right now to buy the HTC One X and sign a new agreement, you'll not only be overrun by people trying to get the new iPhone, but pay $100 for it. Here's a better idea: stay home, head over to Amazon Wireless, and get the same phone for just $20 (if you're opening a new AT&T account). You'll avoid the crowd, standing in line, and having to listen to some salesman tell you to buy some other phone that's not nearly as good. You know which one I'm talking about.

Specs:

Processor: MSM8960 dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 at 1.5GHz
GPU: Adreno 225
Operating System: Android 4.0.3 with Sense 4.0
Display: 4.7" Super IPS LCD2 (720x1280, 312DPI)
Memory: 1GB RAM / 16GB internal (12GB usable - 2GB for apps, 10GB for storage)
Cameras: 8MP rear / 1.3MP front
Battery: 1800mAh, non-removable
Ports/Expandable Storage: microUSB port, HTC dock contacts / none
Thickness: 8.9mm / .35"
Weight: 130g / 4.6oz

[Deal Alert] Motorola DROID RAZR M Only $50 With A New Contract From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, RAZR M

The DROID RAZR M just landed on Verizon yesterday for $99. A little while later, it dropped to $80 on Wirefly. Now, you can get both the white and black versions from Amazon Wireless for just $50 with a new two-year agreement (proof that you should never order anything directly from the carrier, especially on launch day). If you're already a Verizon customer, you can still get this solid mid-ranger for $70, which is $10 cheaper than anywhere else.

Specs:

4.3" 540x960 display with "almost no borders" and Gorilla Glass
1.5GHz dual-core processor
1GB RAM
8GB storage, microSD card slot
4G LTE connectivity
8MP rear shooter
NFC
60.9 x 122.5 x 8.3; 126g
2000mAbh battery
Android 4.0.x

If you're on the fence about this device, I suggest taking a look at Ron's review.

[Deal Alert] Galaxy S III 16GB For Sprint, AT&T, And Verizon Just $100 On Amazon Wireless For New Customers

Posted by David Ruddock in AT&T, Deals, Galaxy S III, Sprint, Verizon Wireless

Looking to switch up your carrier situation? Today might be a good time to look into doing just that, as Amazon Wireless has put the AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon versions of the Galaxy S III 16GB (any color) on sale for just $99 with a new 2-year agreement (upgrades are not eligible).

But seriously, don't buy the red one. Please.

You can see the eligible phones here (the 32GB models shown are not part of the deal, unfortunately). You'll notice T-Mobile's Galaxy S III isn't included, but that's probably because Amazon doesn't sell it in the first place. Here's a full list of eligible models:
