DROID RAZR Test Unit Up for Bid on eBay, is It Unlockable Though?

by: | posted 04.10.12 | Deals, News

A DROID RAZR test unit has appeared up for bid on eBay yesterday and you can imagine the excitement it caused in the dev community. Could this be an unlockable device? Many test units are, but since the seller claims to have no knowledge of “how unlocking works,” there is no guarantee that it will be. They also claim that this was a phone given to Motorola employees for “engineering” and software testing purposes, so who knows. If it is, could it be the device that would provide devs the tools to unlock them all? Only bidding, winning and digging will get you that answer.

Bid.

Cheers Mike!

[Deal] Seidio 3800mAh Extended Battery with NFC for Galaxy Nexus $57.95

by: | posted 04.05.12 | Deals, News

Solid deal in our store today that we wanted to point out. The Seidio 3800mAh extended battery with NFC is available for $57.95. If you bought this from Seidio’s store, it would run you almost $75. It’s a tank of a battery, but if you need a phone that can last longer than a day, this would help get you there. We did a quick hands-on with the battery last week to give readers an idea of the thickness and weight it adds – you can view that here.

Normally priced at $2.99, its creators have dropped the price to $0.99 until April 10. With top notch graphics, this game has been a hit on iOS for some time now. With this price drop, it may not be a bad time to take a look at it.

HTC Rezound Drops to $49 from Verizon, Incredible 4G Incoming?

by: | posted 04.02.12 | Deals, News

The HTC Rezound has dropped all the way down to the staggeringly low price of $49 at Verizon. We aren’t sure if it is a sign that the Incredible 4G is actually arriving in a couple of weeks or if they simply need to remove inventory, but either way, this is a steal of a deal. Originally priced at $299, the Rezound still has one of the most beautiful screens on an Android device to date along with an semi-unlockable bootloader. Fans initially steered clear of it while we awaited the arrival of the Galaxy Nexus, however, it has picked up developer community steam in recent weeks. You can read our full review of the Rezound here.

Deal: DROID Bionic Lapdock Available for $80

by: | posted 03.30.12 | Deals, News

Motorola made a bold move last year by trying to introduce a line of accessories into the game called Lapdocks. They were like mini netbooks in size, however, on the inside they were completely different. In fact, there really was no inside – the dock was a screen, keyboard, mousepad and battery. The rest, meaning the power, all came from your phone after it was “docked” onto it. The idea is actually pretty brilliant, unfortunately for Motorola, the execution was all wrong. The software was buggy, the initial devices were not universal, and the price was beyond unreasonable. At $200 to $300 for again, something with no guts in it, you were better off just buying a netbook and calling it a day.

For those of you that were at least intrigued by the idea though, today is your day. 1saleaday is selling them brand new (not reefurbished) for the DROID Bionic at $80.

Samsung and Best Buy Offering Free Extended Battery with Galaxy Nexus Purchase, There are Better Deals Though

by: | posted 03.29.12 | Deals, News

Best Buy and Samsung spammed out a set of emails within the last couple days, trying to trick you into buying a Galaxy Nexus by tossing in an extended battery for free. Hate to say this, but only a fool would take this deal. You can grab the G-Nex for $99 as a new customer (new line too) or $229 with an upgrade at retailers like Amazon Wireless and then pick up the extended battery for as little as $25 directly from Verizon. It’s a sneaky marketing move by BBY, but since they haven’t marked the phone down at all and still want $299, we hope that no one bites on it.
