Thought to be a third party relic, Verizon's HTC Merge shows up in Xmas ad
Share:
Compared to today's dual-core smartphones, the HTC Merge is not a high spec'd device. With a single-core 800MHz processor (Qualcomm MSM7630) and 512MB of RAM, the phone was equipped with a 3.8 inch screen offering resolution of 480 x 800. HTC Sense runs on top of Android 2.2 and a 5MP camera on back captures video at 720p. For those who like the feel of a physical keyboard, the HTC Merge also has a side-sliding QWERTY. 2GB of native storage can be expanded using the microSD slot on the device.
What brings back the name of Verizon's HTC Merge is a curious holiday ad in the local Greensboro, North Carolina newspaper. The ad, for Big Red, shows a pyramind of handsets with the Verizon variant of the Merge on the bottom, priced at $49.99 with a 2-year contract. If you really, really want this rare unicorn of a Verizon phone, you can buy one and get two free! Of course, you might need to unload the extra 2 units to make back some of your airfare to Greensboro and back home.

Most retailers have the nexus in stock already... I messed around with one today, it's beautiful. Although the razr is a great choice too! Nexus will be out before christmas forsure.

3 merges for $50 plus $100 off mailer. So 3 merges for free. Sold for $100 a piece=$300 for the nexus. So free nexus if you can find a buyer for the merges. Maybe a cellphone buyback program?

I would assume each phone would need a 2 year contract. That would put those 3 free phones in your hands for about $195 per month.
