Radio Shack and AT&T offering HTC One X for $99 on July 29th

Radio Shack has officially confirmed our previous report that the AT&T HTC Once X‘s price will be slashed in half to $99 starting July 29th. This move is likely due to the Samsung Galaxy S III‘s monstrous sales numbers and this could be HTC’s way of attempting to keep up. AT&T is also going to drop the price as well and it’s been reported that they already have, but we just checked online and at the time of this post, it still shows $199.

While the One X is a couple of months older than the S III, it’s still an Android powerhouse and at this price it would be hard to pass up. Any one out there planning on taking advantage of this price?

According to a leaked document, Radio Shack is offering up a pre-order of the device starting tomorrow, April 22nd for a mere $149 and adds the device will be available on May 6. Furthermore, customers will also have the ability to use a code on their receipt to get free downloads of seven Coldplay songs.

It looks as if Radio Shack will have thorough training so they will be able to answer all questions on the device, a vast accessory list and Zagg shields which will be available for the smartphone.

Well folks, it looks like we’re almost closer to having the device in our hands. Be sure to hit the break to see additional photos. » Read the rest

Select Radio Shack stores receiving Verizon Galaxy Nexus for a ridiculous price of $799 off contract, $299 on contract

It looks like this week is officially the Galaxy Nexus week. The news of the Galaxy Nexus has been going non stop for a fee months now, but things are only heating up with the release this Friday. Just in case your local Verizon store sells out, we just wanted to let you know that you can head over to Radio Shack as select stores are receiving the most coveted phone in the land. Of course Best Buy is another option.

What really concerns me is the price. The $299 with a 2-year contract price is fine, but the whopping $799 off contract price is insane. Let’s hope Verizon stores don’t go that high because  an unlocked version (GSM) is cheaper.
