Major retailer Amazon is now offering great deals on several popular Android smartphones, such as the Verizon HTC Thunderbolt and DROID 3, as well as Sprint's Nexus 4G.
Android fans and tinkerers can purchase the Thunderbolt or the DROID 3 for just $49.99 with a new two-year Verizon agreement, while the Nexus S 4G is available for only a penny with a new two-year Sprint contract.
On related news, the retailer has also announced recently a new deal on Samsung's DROID Charge, which is now available for purchase for $99.99 with a new two-year agreement.
Amazon also offers customers who purchase a smartphone with a two-year agreement from Verizon an activation credit of up to $35. The deal is available through August 10.
Furthermore, customers who purchase an Android device from Amazon Wireless get an additional $15 in credits for apps, MP3s and Kindle content.
Those who are not familiar with DROID 3's specs sheet should know that the smartphone features a brilliant 4-inch qHD display, which offers a rich 24-bit color depth and a 960 x 540-pixel resolution.
It appears that the screen is made of scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass with a glare-reducing coating.
DROID 3 is a global phone that allows users to enjoy wireless voice and data service in more than 200 countries, including more than 125 with 3G speeds.
The smartphone features a slider form factor and comes with a full 5-row QWERTY keyboard that makes it easier than ever to quickly type e-mails, update Facebook or Twitter status, and edit documents while on the move.
Equipped with a dual-core processor clocked at 1GHz, DROID 3 enables users the possibility to easily run multiple apps, stream media, talk, e-mail, and surf the Web at the same time.
Unlike DROID 3, which is powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Verizon's Thunderbolt runs Google's Android 2.2 Froyo operating system.
It's powered by a fast single core 1 GHz Snapdragon processor and offers a vividly colored 4.3-inch Super LCD multi-touch display.
Other features include an 8 GB internal memory, pre-loaded 32 GB microSD memory card, Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking with Mobile Hotspot capabilities, Bluetooth, integrated speakers with Dolby Mobile + SRS WOW HD surround sound, and DLNA certification.
