Yesterday, we reported the first super price drop by an online storefront on the BlackBerry Tour down to $49 for a new contract. Today, we discovered Verizon has cut prices on popular smartphones to $99 or less. This should help them to compete with the iPhone 3G. Verizon is also offering free activation which ends today.
These are full powered smartphones with excellent reviews such as the Samsung Omnia (read Omnia review) which is now $99. But wait, there's more the HTC super messaging smartphones, the HTC Touch Diamond(review) and HTC Touch Pro(review), are priced at $99 and if you want, you can another phone for free with the deal. We also reported earlier, Verizon's drop of the BlackBery Storm down to $99 on July 19,. The price for the BlackBerry Storm can be as low as $29.99 with online retailer Wirefly with a new contract.
The price drop appears to be only for older model smartphones that came out last year. The newer texting-powerhouse the Samsung Alias 2 with a $20 off coupon code has discounted to $129.00.
After the BlackBerry Storm was updated to OS 4.7.0.148, the BlackBerry Storm was transformed into a quality, lovable device.The BlackBerry Storm
is full touchscreen smartphone with removable storage (microSD), 3.2
megapixel camera, Microsoft compatibility, 480 by 360 pixel display,
GPS, stereo Bluetooth, and removable battery. You do have to buy a data
plan along with the BlackBerry Storm.
It has been suggested that the drop in the prices is a precursor to seeing a new BlackBerry Storm II, and HTC Touch Pro2.
