T-Mobile Sale: T-Mobile G2x Just $80 On Amazon Wireless

Tweet

The T-Mobile G2x is a great phone, based on the LG Optimus 2X phone being sold overseas. If the super-fast phone is too pricey for you with T-Mobile’s listed contract price of $199, then it could be your lucky day, as Amazon Wireless is selling the G2x with a new T-Mobile contract for just $79.

Amazon, as many readers will know, has a number of algorithms and web monitoring system that will automatically set certain products to be the lowest price on the web. This automated technique, for example, ended up letting gamers purchase the video game Homefront for $20 off the cover price on the day it came out. I don’t know if this special price on the T-Mobile G2x is an automatically adjusted price, or a special sale decided by humans. But considering the G2x is a new phone, I suspect it’s automatically being set this low.

Regardless, it’s a great phone, and LG claims it’s the fastest phone in the world. Let’s recap the specs:

• Android 2.2 (LG has guaranteed an update to Android 2.3)
• 4.0-inch screen
• 1GHz dual-core processor with Tegra 2 SoC
• 512MB RAM
• 8GB storage
• 8MP camera w/ 1080p recording and playback
• 1.3MP (VGA) front-facing camera

Quite frankly, $80 for this phone on a new contract is a steal.

It’s also HSPA+ compatible, which is T-Mobile’s version of 4G. If you’re in a T-Mobile 4G area, you can expect impressive data speeds that don’t eat excessive battery life.

Who knows how long these deals will last – you may want to jump on this now. If you want to know more about the phone, I got my hands on it at CES.
