Posted by Liam Spradlin in Deals, Galaxy Nexus / Nexus Prime, News, Verizon Wireless

Update x2: Amazon Wireless just dropped the price of the Galaxy Nexus for new subscribers down to $150 (still $250 for upgrades). It's only "for a limited time" so you better hurry!

Update: Wirefly just dropped the price a bit more, down to $190 with a new two-year agreement or $240 for upgrades.

Well, it's finally here – Verizon's variant of the hotly anticipated Galaxy Nexus is available at last, going live with a variety of online retailers just moments ago.

First up is VZW, offering what is perhaps their most hotly anticipated device this year for the hefty price ...

Posted by Nate Kimmey in AT&T, Deals, Galaxy S II, News, Samsung

AT&T's Galaxy S II variant (appropriately called the Galaxy S II) is now finally available for $199.99 directly from AT&T.

Update: $100 off ($99.99) at AT&T using this deal, though for me, taxes are still $46.75

1.2 GHz dual-core processor

LG G-Slate Now Available At T-Mobile, Starting At $529.99 On-Contract, $749.99 Off

Posted by Jaroslav Stekl in LG, News, Optimus Pad / G-Slate, T-Mobile

The G2x isn't the only exciting high-end device making its Magenta-colored debut today; LG's 8.9-inch G-Slate is having its coming-out party on this fine Wednesday as well.

Now, T-Mobile would happily lure you into a two-year contract with an attractive starting price of $529.99, but a wise tablet buyer would immediately note that taking such a route would cost a total of $1250 over the next 24 months - not to mention the toll of being unable to upgrade to the latest and greatest in the rapidly changing world of tablets.

Off-contract, the G-Slate costs $749.99 at Magenta's online store ...

AT&T Motorola Bravo And Flipside Now Available For $130/$100 From AT&T, $0 From Amazon And Wirefly

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in AT&T, Bravo, Flipside, Motorola, News

No matter what you say about AT&T (i.e. how long can they keep locking down sideloading no their Android phones?), at least their commitment to Android has definitely picked up compared to only a few months ago.

Today, as expected, 2 more new Android phones are available on AT&T, namely Motorola Backflip and Motorola Flipout.

Motorola Bravo

The Bravo is a slightly more upscale of the two, but still fails to impress me in any way other than being DLNA-enabled. To refresh your memory, here are the Bravo specs:

TI OMAP 3610 800 MHz processor
No physical keyboard

Paid Android Market Support Comes To 20 New Countries

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in Apps/Games, News

Last Updated: October 5th, 2010

A guest post by Eric Chu just went live over at the Android Developers blog, officially announcing the expansion of the Android market to 20 new countries. While we can't exactly say we didn't see this coming (and have an idea what countries it was coming to), it's nice to see nonetheless. It looks like Distimo's estimation was pretty dead-on, too: 11 of the 13 countries they listed are confirmed by Mr. Chu's post. The full list:

Support for paid application sales is now expanded to developers in 29 countries, with today’s additions of Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada,

Motorola Charm Now Available On T-Mobile: $0 On Wirefly With New Contract, $50 On Upgrade

Posted by David Ruddock in CHARM, Motorola, News, T-Mobile

Today, T-Mobile announced that the Motorola Charm is now available, and the pricing options out there in the wild are a bit confusing to say the least.

Wirefly currently has the best deal - you can get the Charm for $0 on a new T-Mobile 2-year contract priced at $59.99 a month. But, if you're a current T-Mobile customer, unless you plan on terminating your current contract, you'll have to fork over $50 and renew your agreement.

Oddly, Wirefly's price for the unsubsidized device is $329.99 which is $60 more than T-Mobile's. Both American retailers are also being undercut by ...

UPDATE: Dell Streak Orders Not Being Taken Today, Or In July At All For That Matter

Posted by David Ruddock in Dev, News, Streak

UPDATE 3: We’ve been informed that in an interview earlier today, spokesman Matt Parretta claimed that the capture from the Dell website below was a mistake. Parretta also says he knew nothing about the page’s statement that the phone would be available in late July, saying “I’ve never said that.” (I guess I’ll take him at his word).

Shame on Dell for putting us through all this!

UPDATE 2: It seems those who made it on the Dell Streak pre-order list can expect an e-mail some time today with a link to purchase their new phone. Pricing comes in at ...

Sprint 4G Tracker – Track The Cities Where Sprint 4G Is Available [Continuously Updated]

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in News, Sprint

We here at Android Police welcome Sprint’s innovation in the WiMax/4G business and are looking forward to the coverage spreading to all major areas. However, the reality is, 4G is only available in select locations, and Sprint hasn’t made it easy to see the stats outside of their heavy Flash-enabled website.

So we are here to fix it. We are going to maintain a simple table, updated any time Sprint releases 4G in new areas. The table shows both upcoming and already available locations for easy tracking.

Motorola Droid X Now Officially On Sale From VZW - Here Is All You Need To Know

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Droid X (Shadow), Motorola, News, Verizon Wireless

The moment you've been waiting for is here - Droid X order page just went live at VZW's site.

You can pick up this bad boy for $199... that is, of course, if you are OK with potentially eating a $350 termination fee and never seeing your device rooted or running a custom ROM.

If, however, you don't care about rooting or custom ROMs, then pop open that browser and spill the cashish, because Motorola's new Droid X is a beast. Here are the specs for those who need a refresher:
