AT&T Announces Smartphone Price Cuts
These days, phones seem to be getting cheaper and cheaper in the U.S., while plans creep higher and higher in price. International data packages are being hacked, and data limits are being applied. But it's sure enticing; AT&T has just lowered the initial barrier to entry quite significantly on a number of phones.
AT&T customers can now get the Samsung Captivate for $99.99, BlackBerry Torch, Samsung Focus, LG Quantum for $49.99 and the BlackBerry Curve 3G for $29.99 after a two-year commitment, with no rebate required on any of them. That's a good chunk of BB and Android phones for a small chunk of money, but the fact that you have to tack a 2-year data plan onto each makes it somewhat less of a stellar deal.
The company also announced some pretty nice deals on Windows Phone 7 devices; hard to say why all of the price cuts are coming at once, but maybe they're just ridding stock before the inevitable T-Mobile merger. Just a wild thought, of course.
