Motorola DROID 3 receives its initial price drop to $149.99 on-contract through Amazon

For the better part of the last week, people were only able to pick up the Motorola DROID 3 through Verizon directly online, but more recently (yesterday actually), customers were able to able to scoop one up at their local Verizon retail store. At $200 on-contract, the handset’s pricing is indeed more than fitting, especially when it’s choked full of some spectacular specs.

Well, that’s all fun and dandy picking it up for $200, but Amazon is already giving the handset that initial price drop that’s generally given after being on the market for some time. As long as you can adhere to Amazon’s strict plan policy, you’ll more than enjoy the smartphone’s 2-year contract price of $149.99 – a $50 savings compared to Verizon directly. At the same time, upgrade customers can pick up the handset at the same price as well! And of course, Amazon throws in the usual two-day shipping so that the only thing you’ll need to be concerned with is the handset’s actual pricing.

So there you have it folks, yet another recently released smartphone is getting its customary price drop courtesy of Amazon. We’re curious to see how much this one will end up being in a month or so.
