Samsung-Conquer-4G-01

When the Samsung Conquer 4G was officially announced, we called it the "most affordable 4G WiMax device to date." That couldn't be more true, because now you can pre-order this device from Wal-Mart without spending a dime -- if you plan on signing a new agreement with the Now Network, that is. Current Sprint customers aren't left out in the cold, either, as you can pre-order this phone for $20 less than it will be on launch day, saving yourself the hassle of dealing with a mail-in-rebate along the way.

The Conquer 4G is a capable 3.5 inch handset with modest midrange specs:

  • 1GHz processor
  • 2GB SD Card Included
  • 3.2MP Rear camera
  • 1.2MP front camera
  • Android 2.3.x

This handset is set to hit Sprint's shelves on August 21 for $99 after a $50 mail-in-rebate, so this is definitely a deal to advantage of if you're planning picking this device up.

You've probably been seeing this deal all over the net for the past couple of days, but we still want to make sure that you don't miss out on it. For today only, you can head over to your local Best Buy and grab some stock-Android goodness for absolutely nothing. The best part? This deal is good for any of the three applicable carriers - 3G on T-Mobile or AT&T, or the 4G variant on Sprint.

Need a reminder on the specs of this device? Here you go:

  • 4 inch 480*800 Super AMOLED display

  • 512MB RAM
  • 16GB built-in storage
  • 5MP rear camera, VGA front
  • Stock Android 2.3.5

In a world of dual-core devices, the Nexus S is still in a class of its own, thanks to its pure vanilla Android nature.

If you're looking to get a decent Android tablet, but don't want to break the bank, then little compares the Barnes & Noble Nook Color. Sure, it may take a bit of hackery to turn this e-reader into a full Android tablet, but for the price, it gives you the most bang for your buck than pretty much anything on the market. It has modest specs, comparable to most mid-range smartphones (on the inside, that is):

  • 7 inch 1024x600 display
  • 800MHz TI Processor
  • 512MB RAM
  • 8GB built-in storage

google_nexus_s_21-500x540

In a world of dual-core superphones, there is still one single-core device that manages to stand its ground: the Samsung Nexus S. Thanks to its stock Android nature, the Nexus S is still one of the best Android phones on the market, and if you're looking to pick one up off-contract, then here's the deal for you. You can grab an unlocked version of the NS for a mere $350 -- that's fifty-percent off the retail price.

2011-08-01 13h06_51

Here's what $350 worth of pure Google device gets you:

  • 4 Inch 480*800 Super AMOLED display
  • 1GHz Hummingbird processor
  • 512 RAM
  • 16GB on-board storage
  • 5MP rear camera,  VGA 'round front
  • Stock Android 2.3.5

To avoid any confusion, it's worth mentioning that this is an unlocked GSM version of the phone that runs on T-Mobile's network, not Sprint's 4G version.

samsung_galaxy_tab

If you've been considering grabbing a new tablet, there's little doubt that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has entered your line of sight at least once. If this ultra-thin tablet has become your heart's desire, then you should hop on today's Daily Deal from eBay, as you can score the 32GB version for $530 with free shipping, saving you $70 off the retail price.

2011-07-25 11h25_44

The specs of the Tab are nothing to scoff at, either:

  • 10.1 Inch 1280x800 display
  • 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor
  • 1GB RAM
  • 3MP rear shooter and a 2MP front camera
  • 32GB of built-in storage
  • Android 3.1 Honeycomb

As a Tab 10.1 owner myself, I can wholeheartedly recommend this deal to everyone out there - but if that's not enough, take a look at our review of the I/O unit and then take the unit for a test drive on Samsung's new Galaxy Tab simulator.

Android-Money

I know, I know. The last one was under $50, and preferably free. But in our attempt to keep you updated with the latest and greatest deals on the latest and greatest devices, we had to make sacrifices. Fortunately, that means there are also no repeat appearances from last month's post, though you should still check it out - a lot of those handsets (aside from the DROID 2) are still viable choices.

So, you get a fresh batch of deals, on a fresh set of phones. Oh, 4 of the 5 are for Verizon - and AT&T and T-Mobile are left out of this month's roundup (though the $50 Infuse deal at Target gets an honorable mention).

mytouch-4g-slide_thumb

The recently-announced HTC myTouch 4G Slide that's set to land on T-Mobile's HSPA+ network sometime this month has already fallen victim to Wirefly's crazy price-slashing mania that they company is so well known for. Right now, you can pre-order the myTouch 4G Slide for $150, which is $50 less than Team Magenta is selling the handset for.

2011-07-20 09h45_04

The myTouch 4G Slide is HTC's latest entry into the 'superphone' market, with some pretty impressive specs:

  • 1.2 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
  • 3.7" SLCD 800 x 480 display
  • 768MB RAM
  • 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash
  • 1080p video capture
  • Full QWERTY keyboard
  • HSPA+ connectivity
  • Android 2.3 with Sense 3.0

While those specs are about as high-end as they come on modern smartphones, they're not the only thing that sets the myTouch 4G Slide apart, as HTC also added some flare to the camera itself:

  • Improved low-light Performance: with a backside illuminated sensor and a wide aperture lens (f/2.2)
  • Zero shutter lag: innovative software features allow for an instantaneous shot at that precise moment
  • SweepShot: for capturing panoramic shots by sweeping across an entire scene in a single motion
  • ClearShot HDR: for capturing objects in bright settings so your photos are not affected by high-contrast lighting
  • BurstShot: for capturing multiple photos in a quick burst so you don’t miss the perfect photo

There you go - if you're into taking awesome pictures with your smartphone and you're lookin' to score the hottest thing on T-Mo, then this is the deal for you.
