Galaxy Nexus now $50 with contract at Verizon

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 03 Oct 2012 3:01 User comments (5)

Galaxy Nexus now $50 with contract at Verizon Google and Verizon have dropped the price of the flagship Galaxy Nexus for the carrier.
With two-year contract, the Nexus will now cost just $50, down from its original price of $200 and more recently, $149.99 online.

The carrier has added a new "Promo" discount when purchasing online, in a clear effort to clear out remaining inventory for the plethora of new devices headed to shelves soon.

Among the new devices are the Motorola RAZR HD, Nokia Lumia 920, HTC 8X and the Samsung Galaxy Note II, all of which should be hot sellers over the holidays.



The Nexus line is popular due to its "vanilla" version of Android straight from Google and not marred by any third-party overlay such as HTC Sense or MotoBlur.

You can escape the verizon bloatware, but not the carrier branding.

And it takes significantly longer for verizon to update the nexus.

How about escaping their full price of their phones even if you have a contract with them and our willing upgrade to a better phone. One of the most retarded idea that Verizon has come up with lately. I mean, it's not like they are losing money out of their asses, share the wealth, and give back to your consumer what you have taken away from them dammit!..

Roomba Plus 505 Combo review - Surprisingly good and relatively affordable robot vacuum Roomba Plus 505 Combo review - Surprisingly good and relatively affordable robot vacuum
In our review, we go through the pros and cons of the obstacle-avoiding, mopping Roomba 505 Combo+ robot vacuum. During a long test period, the robot's cleaning performance was pleasing, but it was far from perfect.
Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm
In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect
We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing.
