All DROID smartphones on sale for 1¢ at AmazonWireless

Dang, so you have to be a new VZW customer for the 1cent deal.

Now this is what I’m talking about! Keep the deals coming Amazon!

The only caveat that should be noted is that Amazon has their own ETF on top of Verizon’s if you buy a phone from them and cancel.

And just so we’re clear, this is why Verizon wants the iPhone. It’s not interested in selling $0.01 phones, and you don’t offer the phone for $0.01 if you can sell it profitably for $200.

11/22 … New Droid on 11/23?

The Droid Pro is not available.

More proof of the impending Verizon iphone. The Droids are being sold like second rate Blackberrys.

You get what you pay for.

I do want to wait for an iPhone, but at the same time I’m pretty sure when it does happen Verizon’s iPhone rates are going to be similar to AT&T’s; priced separately, tiered for each service, no unlimited data and most importantly expensive. I might as well make my switch from T-Mobile soon, while the prices are right.

that droid x is one sexy bich

I don’t see any of the Motorola droids in stock.

1 cent for a Android phone…makes sense, that’s about what they’re worth.

Even though it’s not shown on this sales ad from Amazon, beware of the Droid 2 Global. I’m on my second one in less than a week, have numerous issues with it and am getting the same bullshit responses from Verizon and Motorola I got a year ago with ‘Droid 1′, essentially denying there’s any issues. How soon before the HTC Merge to try a different handset maker that I hope really cares about quality? I’d really like to ‘buy American’ but if the handset makers continue down the path of the car makers I’ll be owning a Taiwanese phone soon to go along with my Japanese car and have a reliable product. (Yes, I understand everything’s ‘made in China’ but if the spec’s sent to the manufacturing plant are crap, that out comes crap).

Recap of some of the many highlights I’ve had with this ‘new and improved’ Droid:

1) Lockup and reboot on its own when adjusting and setting built-in alarm application
2) Lockup and needing to pop out battery and reinstall to get out of lockup when adjusted alarm
3) Lockup when making calls
4) Lockup and reboot on its own when making calls
5) Audio quality is CRAP for both receive and transmit audio, not only according to my ear, but when my Wife has used the phone (this happens whether its the built-in earpiece, speakerphone mode or with a Bluetooth earpiece), there’s no comparison (in a bad way) to Droid 1.
6) Corporate (Outlook/Exchange) calendar appts missing on the converged calendar that I can see plain as day on my desktop)
7) “Push” mail seems to be more like ‘nudge’ as it’s continually way behind (a couple hours since some messages have shown on the laptop before they show in Corporate mail). This was never the case with TouchDown that I used on Droid 1, of which I resorted to about ten months ago after suffering through two plus months of the crap app built-in Corporate Mail on Android V2.0 & 2.1.
8) I almost forgot the 16GB uSD that I moved over from D1 to D2G that only shows up as a 7.4GB card (I’m not talking about Available Space, that’s what it says for Total Space. So there’s a 50% space penalty for using a uSD ‘upgrade into D2G? Yes, I’ve reformatted the card a couple times, same result. Kind of like how many times can you reset to factory defaults and expect to get a different result.

More pain in the ass items:
1) battery hog compared to D1 (can deal with this for the responsiveness over D1 if it was a reliable device overall
2) the stupid ‘bulls eye’ highlighting around the cursor in some of the apps
3) I don’t see a way to ‘pin up’ at minimum the Cc, and preferably the Bc line too, in the built-in mail app (Does Google ever ‘finish’ anything or is half ass good enough for them? Is Motorola OK in accepting a half-ass O.S. and app set?

This has nothing to do with an iPhone. 3rd party agents set their own prices on devices. Verizon has NOTHING to do with how Wirefly or Amazon price VZW devices.

Stop reading in to everything as if its related to the iPhone. The industry is much larger than one smartphone, no matter how hard BGR and other tech blogs ride Apples nuts.

Verizon will sell more phones this quarter than Apple will sell globaly all year. They wouldn’t even think of basing their entire sales strategy around a device that might be launched next year.

Where’s Norm? This is the article he’s waited for his whole life.

now thats how you build market share

Wow, Droids for 1cent. Perfect! Or buy one get one free! No wonder its outselling the iphone.

For those that don’t understand how amazon works, let me explain it. They pay Verizon the same price for the phone you would. Verizon pays them commission for the new contact. They pass most of that to you, usually resulting in a pretty big discount. The more they sell in a certain period of time, the higher the commission, which is why you see these 1¢ deals. It also helps empty out stock for new phones. So, everybody wins.

This proves that the Droids aren’t selling well.

OMFG!!!!!!!! DROID DOES. DROID offers such a great experience and value that we at VZW can offer them at 1 cent so that all of the consumers can have the DROID they really want. Good look crApple and the iphone selling your phones for 200 dollars! DROID is going to fly of the shelf now while crApple goes further into bankruptcy with the poorest selling product ever, the iphone 4.

I took advantage of this deal and snagged a $50 Droid X as an upgrade….Better than paying $150 at the store and then having to mail away for a rebate card.

I LOVE the marketing campaign! I wish they had the Droid Global 2 back it up tho.

Would’ve waited for offers like these if I didn’t HATE MY TOUR so much back in July…been happy with an X ever since.

I just wish the wireless companies would learn to respect their existing customers a little more. New customers get a great deal, but if you’re a loyal customer, you get a mediocre/crap deal.

Well how do I know that its not those display cell phones? The ones with the sticker on it and its just plastic.. its to good to be true for 1 cent.. well the owner of the droid 2 and the droid x could send me like a video of the cellphone that they r using it or leave me a comment on myspace. odiesbmk@myspace.com
