[Deal Alert] Activate Mobile Hotspot On A Phone During Purchase From Amazon Wireless, Get A $100 Amazon Gift Card

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News

If you're looking to pick up a new phone from Amazon Wireless, an interesting deal just popped up: activate mobile hotspot during your purchase, get a $100 Amazon Gift card. Doesn't matter if you're a new customer or you've been with your carrier for 10 years and are getting an upgrade -- this deal applies to everyone; any hotspot-ready phone, any carrier.

Alternatively, If you're not eligible for upgrade or don't want to get a new phone just yet, you can get a similar deal on standalone hotspots. If you pick up a mobile hotspot device instead of a new phone, you can still score a $50 Amazon gift card.

[Deal Alert] Amazon Drops DROID BIONIC To $150 With A New Verizon Account, Still Includes $50 Gift Card

Posted by David Ruddock in 4G, Bionic, Deals, Motorola, Verizon Wireless

Last Updated: September 24th, 2011

Amazon has reduced the price of the Motorola DROID BIONC for new Verizon subscribers to just $150 - and you'll get a free $50 Amazon Gift Card to boot, which would probably wisely be spent on a spare battery and charger.

Verizon's first dual-core phone to feature LTE and a qHD display (with somewhat yucky PenTile subpixel rendering), the BIONIC is definitely Verizon's current powerhouse handset.

For current Verizon customers, the price remains unchanged: $250 with a renewal of your 2-year agreement. You can check out our review of the DROID BIONIC (which I think is a pretty good phone) here.

[Deal Alert] HTC ThunderBolt For A Penny With A New Agreement From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, Thunderbolt (Mecha)

If you've been considering making the jump to Verizon's ultra-fast 4G LTE network, then I can think of no better time to make that commitment than now, as you can score the HTC ThunderBolt for one cent from Amazon Wireless. Like always, signing up with Big Red for two years is a requisite to get that price, but it still saves you $250 over the retail front.

Specs:

4.3 Inch TFT display
1GHz Snapdragon processor
768MB RAM
8MP rear shooter, 1.3MP front
8GB built-in storage
4G LTE
Android 2.2

So there you go -- a 4G LTE phone for a penny.

[Deal Alert] HTC EVO 3D $99 With A New Two-Year Agreement From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, EVO 3D (Shooter), News

The EVO 3D is easily one of the hottest phones on Sprint right now, and with good reason. It's fast, functional, fluid, and brings a lot of incredible features to the table, like 3D and Sense 3.0. If you've been waiting for a good deal to come along before dumping your current carrier and switching to The Now Network, now is the time, as Amazon Wireless is letting this 3D shooter go for $99 with a new two-year agreement. The deal is not as sweet for current Sprintsters, though, as the price is nearly doubled for a contract renewal ($180), which will still save you a bit of change versus the retail front.
