One of the hardest parts about buying a new phone is generally justifying the price, especially when the hardware is not brand-spanking new. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Verizon has been out for a while, and isn't the newest of news, but that doesn't mean that many of you out there don't want it still. What better way to get that Galaxy Nexus in your pocket than the cost of just a few...
In its latest Olympic promotion, Samsung has teamed up with postcard peddler Touchnote to enable users to send free postcards until Aug. 31. For the uninitiated, Touchnote allows you to turn any photo or image on your phone into a real, physical postcard that you can send anywhere in the world. Normally this would set you back £1.49, $1.49 or €1.49 depending on where you live, but this...
Ever wish you could crank the volume on your Android device up to an 11 so you could actually hear the notifications or boost the volume during calls? After purchasing my Galaxy Nexus I found that the sound level was a little low for my preference, and I immediately began looking for ways to boost the volume. There are a bunch of sound applications in the Google Play Store, but...
Dailysteals.com is offering the Samsung Galaxy S III i9300 for $599.99 today. As of this writing there's about 21 hours and 45 minutes left to pick one up. This is the unlocked international version, and although they all look the same, you won't get any carrier branding on this one. We recently reviewed this and found it to be an amazing phone, with plenty of horsepower and battery...

From a personal perspective I have played...
We've seen some pretty interesting Android promotions in our time, but Chili's latest takes the cake for sure. They have a new app out and they really want you to try it out. In fact, they want you to try it out so bad that they'll give you a free Android smartphone to do so. The process is fairly simple of course, visit the Chili's website and order up $25 worth of food and you'll get...

Although it's a small update, it's an update nonetheless. Google Offers v1.3 has now been pushed to the Google Play Store and is ready for download.

Check the “Browse” section of the app to see offers near you. Smoother app...
Perhaps anticipating some big news from Samsung later in the week, Vodafone UK has lowered its on-contract prices for HTC's new One X and One S. The flagship 4.7-inch One X is now available for free on 24-month plans starting at £36 per month -- that gets you 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB. Meanwhile the smaller, thinner One S can now be yours from £31 per month, which comes with...

Last night's leak proved to be right on the money, as ASUS has made the Transformer Prime GPS add-on hardware available for registered owners today. In case you've not been following the saga, there's an issue with the GPS on the 10.1-inch Transformer Prime. The issue being that it sucks -- it won't lock on very well, and won't stay locked if and when it finds it's location. Seems that...
U.S.Cellular today announced its latest promotion, which features the carrier’s entire line of Galaxy S devices discounted up to $100 off their regular prices.

The...
We usually don't worry too awful much about the various people importing and hawking unlocked phones on the Internet, but sometimes things just need passed along. The deals site Daily Steals has the unlocked, Tegra 3 version of the HTC One X up for sale, and if you want to part with $630, you can get your hands on the world version. We're not going to get in the middle of the debate...

The HTC Watch catalog has been growing slowly but...
We might be focusing on a couple of other HTC phones this week, but if you don't mind settling for a device that's a few months old you could take home another high-end HTC for next to nothing, starting today. The Verizon HTC Rezound, which launched last year at an eye-watering $299 on-contract, has just had its price slashed to $49 with a two-year plan. The Rezound is notable for its...
Update: We've added HTC's first teaser trailer for this ad campaign after the break. The HTC One series launches in Europe next week, and HTC's pulling out all the stops in the marketing effort for its new smartphones -- the One X, One S and One V. The new marketing strategy, dubbed "As Recommended By", sees HTC bringing fans and enthusiasts on-board to showcase leading features of...

The offer applies to PAYG Arc S models...
