Starting tonight and running until April 30, Amazon Wireless will be offering all Sprint 4G phones for a penny. Yep, those things you throw in water fountains or put in your loafers can score you a brand new 4G Android phone from Sprint. While they say “all Sprint 4G phones,” I didn’t see the Galaxy Nexus or LG Viper 4G LTE listed, so perhaps LTE devices aren’t included in this sale (bummer).


There have been tons of Samsung Galaxy S III rumors and leaks, and while most have been downright laughable, this next one appears to be the real deal. A leaked video and some photos show the innards of the Samsung Galaxy S III encased in a plastic dummy shell (and being charged by a BlackBerry micro-USB cable) to keep the final design under wraps. The good news is the unit was fully functional and able to provide us with a look at a slew of specs.


While we wait for Sprint to release their first ever duo of 4G LTE devices, Wirefly has gone ahead and offered them up for pre-order — and at a much lower cost too. Don’t let the fact that Sprint doesn’t yet have an LTE network up and running stop you from pre-ordering your Samsung Galaxy Nexus or LG Viper 4G LTE. Wirefly is now offering the Sprint Galaxy Nexus for $149.99 — that’s $50 dollars cheaper than what Sprint’s asking for. If that’s still too expensive for your blood, you can always pick up the LG Viper 4G LTE from Wirefly for a measly $19.99. While you most likely won’t be using the LTE, we’re sure you’ll have no problem finding a use for these two quad-core, 4″+ display, NFC packing devices.


Yesterday we told you about the amazing deal Wirefly had on the Galaxy Nexus for Verizon. We also told you to be on the lookout for Amazon Wireless to match that deal and sure enough they did. Anyone willing to sign up for a new two-year contract with Verizon can get a brand new Samsung Galaxy Nexus from Amazon Wireless for the ridiculously cheap price of $49.99.


We’re always talking about the next sleek and sexy device, forgetting that there’s a whole market of rugged business owners out there feening for durability and functionality in their smartphone. Luckily, companies like JCB haven’t and continue to help construct devices to fit the needs of even the toughest industries. You’re not going to find HTC One X specs in this thing but I bet if you dropped them both off a ladder, only one would survive.
