Samsung Droid Charge & LG Revolution Both Virtually Free At Amazon [Amazon Wireless Selling The Two Newest Verizon 4G Phones For Extremely Cheap, Thunderbolt Also Still Cheap]

Verizon’s 4G LTE network has been growing at an incredible pace, and probably now surprasses Sprint’s 4G WiMAX network which predated it by 12 months or so, or at the very least it matches Sprint’s network. Point is, if you live anywhere near what most people would call a “big” or even “medium” city, you’re probably covered by Verizon 4G. And, you’ll need a 4G phone, and Amazon has got just what you need. Two of the top Verizon 4G phones, as reviewed by us, the Samsung Droid Charge and the LG Revolution are now just $0.01 on Amazon Wireless – Amazon’s separate site for mobile phones with contracts.

Buying from Amazon Wireless does put you under an additional contract with another early termination fee, which some folks don’t like, but it shouldn’t be a problem if you don’t need to cancel a phone contract early. Let’s run down the devices and their specs.

The LG Revolution is carrying:

4,3-inch screen
Android 2.2
1GHz Snapdragon Processor
16GB pre-installed microSD card
5.0MP main camera (w/ 720p HD video recording)
1.3MP front-facing camera

And the Samsung Droid Charge:

4.3-inch screen
Android 2.2
1GHz Hummingbird Processor
2GB Memory + 32GB pre-installed microSD card
8.0MP main camera (w/ 720p HD video recording)
1.3MP front-facing camera

I reviewed both the LG Revolution and the Samsung Droid Charge for this website. Both are good, although I would have to give the nod to the Samsung Droid Charge. It’s got a better feel in your hand, better performance, and a better screen. In addition to these two phones, it seems that Amazon Wireless has been selling the HTC Thunderbolt for $0.01 for awhile now, and while I would rank the Thunderbolt better than the Samsung Droid Charge, the Droid Charge is still the best phone of the three.
