Sprint is set to match Verizon and T-Mobile by stopping offering two-year phone contracts to new customers, although two-year contracts for tablets will remain.

Verizon Wireless is just about matching the deal other carriers have offered for a while to entice customers on other networks. It’s essentially offering to buy you out of your contract with up to $650 per line, less the trade-in value of your current device. But Verizon also has a few extra bonuses to brag about.

BlackBerry’s first Android smartphone will be offered by AT&T in the U.S. — and you’ll be able to purchase yours this week. Prices for Priv start at under $25 a month on an AT&T Next plan, giving you a more affordable alternative to BlackBerry’s steep $699 off-contract price.

Sprint has become the latest carrier to begin taking orders for Google’s new Nexus 6. Customers will receive their handset within 2-5 business days, the carrier says, and prices start at $299 on contract.
T-Mobile has today announced that it’s teamed up with Samsung to exclusively launch a brand new, mid-range smartphone that won’t break the bank. The Galaxy Avant can be yours for $0 up front, followed by $9 per month for the next 24 months, or for $216 outright on a prepaid plan with no strings attached.
