[Deal Alert] 16GB Nexus 4 For $375 - Ships Internationally And Could Be Cheaper Than The Play Store

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Deals, LG, News, Nexus 4

The latest and greatest Nexus phone - the 16GB Nexus 4 - is available in limited quantities for $375 from eBay Daily Deals today. "But it's selling for $349.99 from the Play Store!" you might exclaim. "How is this a deal?" Let me break it down a bit.

U.S.

You will find that Google may charge tax in your state. For example, in California, the Play Store adds on $30.54 of tax for me. The charge may be less in your state, or you may not get charged for tax at all, in which case the deal isn't as much of a deal anymore.

[Deal Alert] New 32GB Nexus 7 For $229 At eBay Daily Deals [Updated]

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, Nexus 7

Update 3/23/13: The deal is back yet again today.

Update 12/01/12: It's back one more time.

That headline seem oddly familiar? It should, because the same seller had an identical deal going about a week ago. And now it's back.

For today only, you can get a brand new, in box 32GB Nexus 7 for $229 shipped. That's your price out the door - unless you live in New Jersey, that is. In that case, you'll also have to fork over some sales tax. Sorry, guys.

Still, that's quite a bit cheaper than you'll get it directly from Google.

[Deal Alert] Unlocked Galaxy S III Going For $449 With Free Shipping On eBay Daily Deals

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in Deals, Galaxy S III, News

I heard from a reliable source that you guys like unlocked cell phones. Well, eBay's Daily Deals have you covered today with an unlocked international Galaxy S III for $449, which is slightly cheaper than the previous deal on this handset of $470. The device comes in your choice of black, white, or blue. As a bonus, the shipping on these devices is entirely free, which makes it one of the cheapest high-end handsets you can get unlocked, excluding the Nexus 4.

Even if you are including the Nexus 4, this isn't bad. The GSIII was initially launched in May of 2012, so it's only 9 months old.

[Deal Alert] Nexus 7 16GB For $250 With Free Case And Shipping From eBay Daily Deals

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, Nexus 7

If you haven't already bought a Nexus 7, you're missing out. It's easily the best Android tablet on the market, bar none. For today only, you can score a 16GB Nexus 7 with official case and free shipping for $250. While the price isn't any different than the 16GB version directly from the Play Store, at least you're getting some freebies out of the deal - roughly a $30(ish) value.

One notable thing about this deal is that you have the choice of either a gray or blue case, the latter of which hasn't even arrived in the Play Store yet.

[Deal Alert] Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB For $430 With Free Shipping From eBay Daily Deals

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, Galaxy Tab 10.1, News

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is one of the finest Android tablets in existence right now. It's well supported, has a nice selection of accessories (both currently available and upcoming), and it feels great in the hand thanks to its ultra-thin profile. While most retailers are selling the 16GB variant for around $500, there is a deal on eBay's Daily Deals site featuring this tablet for $430 with free shipping, which is the lowest price that we've seen yet.

The Tab 10.1 shares the same guts as most other Honeycomb tablets, all wrapped up in a super-sleek shell:

10.1 Inch 1280x800 display
1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor
1GB RAM
3MP rear shooter and a 2MP front camera
16GB of built-in storage
Android 3.1 Honeycomb

If you're still not sold, you can take the Tab 10.1 for a virtual test drive and see what it's all about over at Sammy's Online Simulator.

[Deal Alert] Sprint's Motorola Photon 4G Drops To $99.99 At Radioshack

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Deals, Motorola, News, Photon 4G, Sprint

Motorola Photon 4G, Sprint's latest dual-core Android phone and EVO 3D's only true rival, is only 10 days old, but it's not stopping Radioshack from folding its price sticker in half and throwing it on a sweet-sweet sale - $99.99.

The deal is available immediately at RadioshackWireless.com, though it's currently limited to new accounts, as it oftentimes happens (don't even look at it if you're upgrading). Throw in free FedEx shipping, and you've got yourself a pretty good price on Sprint's second best offering today, at least until the Galaxy S2, a.k.a. Epic Touch 4G, arrives later this fall.

Amazon Wireless and Wirefly both currently list the Photon 4G at $179.99.

[Updated] Logitech Revue Price Drop To $99.99 Now In Effect - Android 3.1 Still Coming "Later This Summer"

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in Deals, Logitech, News, Revue

The Logitech Revue, originally highly overpriced at $299.99, was recently reported to be going down in price heavily to a sweet spot of $99.99 that it should have shipped with in the first place in my opinion.

As of today, the price drop is in effect, so you can order the Revue for $99.99 with free 2-day shipping directly from Logitech by following this link.

Update: It's now up for the same price on Amazon and at Best Buy.

On a separate note, I've heard some rumblings lately of rumors that the original Google TV hardware won't be getting the promised Android 3.1 (some of you pointed out 3.2, but the rep said specifically 3.1) update and want to take this chance to debunk it.

[Update: It's Back!] Deal Alert: Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi 32GB For $530 From eBay Daily Deals

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, Galaxy Tab 10.1, News

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.

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.
