The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
Remember the Samsung Stratosphere? The model was Verizon's first 4G LTE enabled model to pack a side-sliding physical QWERTY. Recently priced at $149.99 with a 2-year contract, the gang at Big Red have chopped $50 off the price of the phone to a more affordable $99.99 with that signed 2-year pact. And that is not all. The Samsung Stratosphere is now the subject of a BOGO promotion which means that you will receive two Stratospheres for the price of one.
See if this refreshes your memory. The Samsung Stratosphere is equipped with a 4 inch WVGA Super AMOLED screen with a pixel density of 233. Under the hood is a single-core 1GHz processor with 512MB of RAM aboard. 4GB of native memory is included along with a 5MP rear-facing camera and a 1.3MP front-facing shooter. The former captures video at 480p (VGA).
If you need a LTE enabled device with a physical keyboard, this is a deal that is hard to pass up. On the other hand, if you crave a dual-core processor doing the heavy lifting, the carrier did just launch the brand spanking new Motorola DROID 4.
