Last Days To Save Big on Verizon Android & 4G With Amazon Wireless

MegaZone — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 22:48:17 +0000

Amazon Wireless is giving customers a little extra time to save big on Android devices & 4G LTE services on Verizon Wireless.

First up, originally slated to end March 26th, but extended through March 31st, the DROID Madness Sale. This sale is only good on new Verizon Wireless activations. New activation includes a new individual account, a new family account, or a new line to an existing account. The promotion does not include upgrades or contract extensions.

All Motorola DROID devices on Verizon are on sale. The DROID RAZR MAXX 4G 32GB in black is $199.99. The DROID 4 4G is $49.99. The DROID RAZR 4G 16GB is $34.99 in black, white, or purple. The DROID BIONIC 4G 32GB is $29.99. While the DROID BIONIC 4G 16GB, DROID X2, DROID 3 Global, and DROID PRO are all just $0.01 each – a penny! My wife has the DROID RAZR and she loves it, it is a very nice phone.

The second sale has some overlap with the first, now extended through April 15th (formerly March 31st) Double Your Data on 4G Phones. It is pretty simple – all 4G Verizon phones qualify for twice the amount of data for the same monthly price. New 4G smartphone activations and upgrades are eligible, including existing customers with 4G smartphones.

The following prices are for new activations, upgrade pricing may differ. As above, the DROID RAZR MAXX 4G 32GB is $199.99. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G is $99.99. The HTC Rezound 4G is $79.99. The DROID 4 4G is $49.99. The DROID RAZR 4G 16GB is $34.99 in black, white, or purple. The DROID BIONIC 4G 32GB is $29.99. The LG Spectrum 4G is $19.99. The HTC ThunderBolt 4G, Samsung Stratosphere 4G, DROID BIONIC 4G 16GB, Samsung DROID CHARGE 4G, and Pantech Breakout 4G are all just $0.01 – one red cent.

Of all of these the one I’d select is the Samsung Galaxy Nexus – which is in fact the phone I carry. My second choice would probably be the DROID RAZR, or maybe the DROID RAZR MAXX, though battery life hasn’t really been an issue for me so far.

Save Big on Verizon Android & 4G With Amazon Wireless

Amazon Wireless is currently running two sales that could save you a lot on a Verizon Wireless smartphones.

First up, running through March 26th, the DROID Madness Sale. This sale is only good on new Verizon Wireless activations. New activation includes a new individual account, a new family account, or a new line to an existing account. The promotion does not include upgrades or contract extensions.

The second sale has some overlap with the first, through March 31st Double Your Data on 4G Phones. It is pretty simple – all 4G Verizon phones qualify for twice the amount of data for the same monthly price. New 4G smartphone activations and upgrades are eligible, including existing customers with 4G smartphones.

The following prices are for new activations, upgrade pricing may differ. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G is $99.99. The HTC Rezound 4G is $79.99. The DROID 4 4G is $49.99. The DROID RAZR 4G 16GB is $34.99 in black, white, or purple. The DROID BIONIC 4G 32GB is $29.99. The LG Spectrum 4G is $19.99. The HTC ThunderBolt 4G, LG Revolution 4G, Samsung Stratosphere 4G, Samsung DROID CHARGE, and Pantech Breakout 4G are all just $0.01 – one red cent.

I note that the sale specifically states “all 4G Verizon phones qualify”, yet the DROID RAZR MAXX 4G 32GB and DROID BIONIC 4G 16GB from the first sale aren’t listed in the second. But I’d expect them to qualify as well, as they are “4G Verizon phones”.

Today Only Get the 4G LTE Droid RAZR for only $111.11 for New Customers!

The Droid RAZR launches on Verizon today, 11/11/11, at 11:11. Yes, cute marketing. The RAZR is the world’s thinnest smartphone, just 7.1mm thick! (Which is cheating a bit, the camera puts a little bulge in one end.) The overall dimensions are 130.7mmx68.9mmx7.1mm (5.14″x2.71″x0.28″) and it weighs only 127 grams (4.48 ounces). It has a 4.3″ Super AMOLED Advanced qHD screen (960×540), an OMAP 4430 1.2GHz dual-core processor, an 8MP rear camera which captures 1080p video, a 1.3MP front camera which captures 720p video, 1GB RAM, 16GB of on board storage, ships with a 16GB microSD card (expandable to 32GB), 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 LE+EDR, it has a microUSB port and a microHDMI port, supports DLNA, and, of course, Verizon’s market leading 4G LTE network. It is running Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread with the new & improved MotoBlur – but Motorola has already said it will get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich soon.

Basically this is a totally kick-ass Android smartphone. I’m personally debating if I want to get one or wait for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and it isn’t an easy choice. My fiancee almost ordered a RAZR earlier tonight to replace her OG Droid – but didn’t pull the trigger. Which might have been a good thing.

Why? Verizon is asking $299.99 for the phone with a 2-year contract.

But Amazon is doing something a little crazy. This is a brand new phone, easily the top end phone for Verizon’s 4G LTE network and one of the best smartphones on the market. Full off contract pricing is an insane $799.99! Normal two-year contract pricing, as I said, is $299.99. But, in honor of 11/11/11, Amazon is offering it to new customers for only $111.11 with 2-year contract! That’s $188.88 off Verizon’s price for a phone launching today. Existing Verizon customers who are up for renewal can get it for $249.99. And if you want it without a contract you can have it for only $749.99 – ouch.

If you’ve been thinking of switching to Verizon, this is an incredible deal. You can get the top end Android smartphone for the cost of an entry level model. Don’t pass this up!

The latest television teaser is also pretty slick. Like past Droid commercials, it is more like the trailer for the latest action flick.
