Amazon Wireless, the mobile phone and tablet selling sub-site of Amazon, has a great deal going on Windows Phones now through the end of this week.  You can pick up your choice between nine different phones on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile or Verizon for the incredible price of $.01!  And these are all the popular models including the brand new HTC Radar (T-Mobile) and HTC Titan (AT&T).

All of the phones require a 2 year contract (either an extension of your current contract or a new one) and require a minimum data plan.

The Windows Phone models that are available include:

  • HTC Titan
  • HTC Radar
  • HTC Arrive
  • HTC HD7S
  • HTC Trophy
  • Samsung Focus
  • Samsung Focus Flash
  • Samsung Focus S
  • LG Quantum
When I checked this morning, the HTC Titan was on back order and as was the Focus S but the rest remain in stock.  You can still order these phones but instead of taking 1-2 days to get to you, it will take a week.  Still, for one cent, I’d wait a week!

Earlier today I posted about WP7 Wallpapers, a site that has a lot of great wallpapers for your Windows Phone.  A reader tipped me to check out 1800PocketPC.com for another place to get some great wallpapers.  I check it out and they do have a great selection but there was one section that caught my eye.

Amazon has just released a significant update to their Amazon Mobile app.  The new 1.5 version brings a new level of support for Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) and a new barcode scanner that can check pricing and availability of an item from Amazon.  You can pin that barcode scanner to the Start screen as a Live tile so you can instantly start scanning while you are shopping.

The update also brings support for task switching that is in the 7.5 release.

The update is free in Marketplace and does require Windows Phone 7.5 to be on your phone.

Nokia Lumia 800 Breaks Pre-Order Sales Record for Orange in The UK

November 21, 2011 Uncategorized No Comments

It appears that Nokia’s decision to offer Windows Phone as their primary mobile platform has already paid off.  Last week their flagship Lumia 800 launched in the UK and Orange, one of the major mobile carriers in the country, announced a record number of pre-order sales for a Nokia device.  To be sure it was helped by a promotion where people could get a free Xbox 360 but that is not the only reason:  50% of the pre-orders were from existing Nokia customers.

Gottabemobile Discusses The HTC Titan Battery Life & Camera

November 21, 2011 Windows Phone No Comments

My good friend Chris Leckness over at Gottabemobile has posted a great article on the battery life of the new HTC Titan Windows Phone.  Chris actually covers two aspects of this latest offering from HTC and AT&T by covering the battery life in the real world and covering the impressive 8MP camera in the Titan.  The results?  Pretty darn impressive if you ask me.  50% battery life left after a 12 day of moderate use.  As I pointed out in my How To Save Your Windows Phone Battery Power article, Chris utilized the battery saving feature that is now included in Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) OS.

Read the full article over at Gottabemobile and check out the great camera shots Chris has put in the article as well.  I think this will prove to be one of the best cameras built into a Windows Phone to date.
