Posted in Best Buy by Conner Flynn on March 10th, 2011

So you’ve been wanting a Nexus S, but have been on the fence. Well, get off that fence and into Best Buy. Best Buy has knocked a full $100 off the phone for a limited time only if you’re signing up for a contract.

From today until March 23rd you can get that price and apparently your local Best Buy doesn’t even need to be a T-Mobile dealer for you to get the deal. You’ll just need to get the phone shipped to you. Sound good? Snag up this deal before it goes away.

Of course, you have the other option if you don’t want to be tied down that long. You can pay $99, if you are willing to make a year-long commitment.

The TiVo Premiere XL will cost you $299 with a one-year commitment if THX-certified recorded shows are what you want. Just pick your poison.

Motorola wants to keep the Aura Phone off eBay

Posted in Motorola by Conner Flynn on November 3rd, 2008

Motorola wants to keep the Aura Phone off eBayIf you’re looking for a way to get around the £2,000 price tag associated with Motorola’s latest luxury phone, the Aura, get ready to be disappointed. The telecommunications company will be introducing a legal contract for new owners that prevents them from selling the Aura on eBay.

The only party they are legally allowed to sell the handset back to is…Motorola. I wonder just how legal that move actually is in itself. Apparently they are aiming to keep the Aura extremely exclusive. First off, the tactic won’t work. Secondly, that sort of contractual threatening will turn many buyers off. All we can say is, Good luck with your fancy phone sales.

T-Mobile’s Motorola ROKR E8
T-Mobile announced it’s own version of Motorola’s ROKR E8, a delicious candybar which is shiny, sleek, glossy and black. Okay, maybe it’s not that much of a looker. Some features are: a 2 megapixel camera, 2GB of internal storage, microSD slot that will get you 8GB more, stereo Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphone jack, FM radio, and the morphing keypad that makes keys invisible like magic.(If you are in the right mode) Not a surprise that there’s no 3G, but T-Mobile customers are used to that. You can get the E8 starting July 7 for $199.99 with contract.
