Radio Shack announces $149.99 price for Motorola Atrix 4G sans rebate

If you are looking to pick up a Motorola Atrix 4G when it comes out, you might want to get over to the Shack,  Radio Shack that is.  They just announced their pricing on this beast of a phone at a sweet $149.99.  That’s $50 bones less then what AT&T will be offering it at, and you don’t have to play the rebate waiting game!  They also will have the Motorola lapdock for $329.99 if you pick up the bundle deal.  Still a bit too rich for my blood, as the phone is the brain afterall anyways.

First they push up the release date to February 22nd, and now we find lower prices.  Hopefully this price war continues for all  high-end Android phones.  If you have your eye on the Motorola Atrix 4G, things are looking up!  Time to Google Map all the nearest Radio Shacks near my house.

We know that Vodafone will be carrying the Nexus S in Europe in Australia, but that’s pretty much all we know about the Nexus S so far. Until today, nothing else had been announced about where we might see the new Nexus flagship device. But word is dropping now that the following carriers will supply it in the following markets:

  • Germany: The Phone House
  • Switzerland: Swisscom – the price starts from 49 CHF
  • Austria: A1
  • France: SFR – which is co-owned by Vodafone and Vivendi
  • Russia: Available mid-March on unknown carrier for around 27,990 rubles

If you live in one of those countries and you’re looking to snag a Nexus S, keep watch on these carriers in the next few months and you should see them become available.

If you watched the Superbowl last night, you may have seen Ozzy and Justin Beiber pitching the new Best Buy “Buy Back” program (which has nothing to do with Ozzy and Beiber in the same room…sigh).

The Buy Back option will be free for a limited time, but it will cost you to down the road to have it as an option when upgrading your device. This is a great idea for those of us who are getting hosed from our carriers 24 month upgrade plan. You’ll be able to get a discount towards a new device, the discount amount depends on how long you’ve had your current (out-dated) device as follows;

  • For the first six months you can get 50% of the retail cost
  • 6-12 months will give you 40% back
  • 12-18 months 30%
  • 20% between months 18 and 24.

There you have it, pretty good deals from Best Buy, as always. Again, this is free right now, but won’t be down the road. Get more information at our source link below.

Ozzy and Bieber mock each other, want to know how many G’s you have

What’s better than seeing the Prince of Darkness make fun of current pop? How about getting Justin Bieber to get in on it and make fun of himself? While It’s not strictly an Android commercial, Best Buy took a stab at the teen heart-throb during the Super Bowl yesterday, in what will, I’m sure, be voted as one of the top spots. It’s full of mocking the rate of advancement in the mobile world, with talk of 4G, 5G, 6G, and beyond.

Be sure to hit the break to check out the commercial for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Accessories for Thunderbolt and Inspire Making Appearances at Best Buy

Best Buy, always among the first to have accessories for new mobile devices as they roll out, has started selling cases dedicated to the Thunderbolt and the Inspire. We know the Inspire will be going on sale next week, for sure. The Thunderbolt doesn’t have an official street date yet, but we know it’s supposedly available for pre-order today. We’re eager to see these new phones roll out, further bolstering Android’s monopoly on the 4G market. And we’re not surprised to see Best Buy leading the charge on getting these devices, and their accessories, in your hands as quickly as possible.

Motorola Droid Bionic shows up on Amazon for only $149

The Motorola Droid Bionic has hit Amazon for a sweet price of $149.99 on a 2-year contract with Verizon. The Droid Bionic was one of the elite devices shown at CES, and got some great benchmarking numbers as well. The device showing up on Amazon already may mean that the device is much closer to launch than the original “end of Q2″ with Verizon as previously stated. The page seen above has however been pulled down shortly after it was up, so we’re not sure when it’s going live again.

We’ll keep you all posted! Keep your wallets ready.

HTC Thunderbolt accessories at Best Buy – launching Feb 19?

We saw the HTC Thunderbolt at CES 2011, and needless to say, were quite impressed with it. It’s a nice 4.3 inch touchscreen, 1GHz Qualcomm Processor, android 2.2, and a kickstand. What’s not to like really. So as we wait for official launch dates and sunch, we can at least start to speculate when it may be hitting shelves. Enter Best Buy screencap above. According to this, Best Buy is getting HTC Thunderbolt accessories into stock, for launch Feb 19th 2011. That would usually mean that the device itself is set to launch either that day, or at least that week.

We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more. Until then, have a look at the HTC Thunderbolt up close in our hands on from CES 2011!

Xperia Arc Up for Pre-Sale in UK

We’ve been looking forward to the release of the Xperia Arc since CES. It’s got a very sleek look to it, plus some pretty impressive hardware, to boot. And it looks like our wait may not last much longer.

The Xperia Arc has just gone up for pre-sale in the UK, at £459.99 — and keep in mind, that’s not a carrier-subsidized price, but full retail. It appears that the phone will become available on April 1st, and it’s likely that when it actually hits shelves it will be a bit cheaper, as that is usually the case with pre-sale deals on phones. That’s certainly not a low price on any handset, but for one with specs like this, and carrier-unlocked, it may be worth your money. If you like in the UK and can’t wait to get your hands on one, hit the website where it’s up for pre-order, and be sure and let us know how that purchase goes!
