Today only: Amazon offering most AT&T phones for 1 cent

These days you can't get anything for 1 cent. Well, actually, today you can. 1 cent is all it takes to buy an AT&T phone from Amazon. Of course, there are conditions. The iPhone is not included and you cannot already be a customer of the nation's second largest carrier; you will have to sign a 2 year contract, but Amazon is waiving all activation fees. Thanks to the online retailer, a penny goes a long way today as it can buy you a BlackBerry Bold, an HTC Fuze or a Nokia E71x just to name three. But like Cinderella, once the clock strikes 12, these phones turn into pumpkins and the deal expires.

Coincidentally that's how much they are worth. Suppose Cheap phones helps you forget aout the network.

What good are the newest phones if the networks SUCKS! AT&T is the WORST! You can do better with 2 cans and some string!

Um the Tour is way newer than the Bold, and BETTER, faster, nicer, and more popular...We may get them late but RIM always saves its bests for last. At&t's Commercials should have a silver platter and a cover than it should show a butler reveal the silver platter (zoom camera 1) and pan in to a giant pile of shit...with a little yard sign that says "Your network, Delivered"...

I don't know which is worse?? AT&T or T-Mobile, that would be a good fight. Sorry but GSM is not the way to go.

if you have verizon you might as well get the cheapest phone they have because every single phone interface looks the same when you press the menu button. sorry but i like having customization and being able to pop my sim card out if i break my phone and use a back up until i get a new one instead of having to run to the store and swap it out. verizon ftmfl.

only the dumbphones have the same UI and i think the interface is awesome. everything is fast, nice looking and easy to use. i've never once had a need for a sim card.

just ou of curiosity what do you do when you damage your phone AND your sim...Like in water? Then what? Then What? Im pretty sure that started to sound good just as you hit submit to your comment then you thought "hey that would suck if I dropped it in water" oh well no one here will call me on it.."

Amazing AT&T is the number 2 carrier when they are the WORST! Must be because of the stupid Iphone. I had T-Mobile when they were Voicestream, they were bad, but great compared to AT&T.

Jealous of what? That AT&T phones say NO SERVICE 50% of the time? Or is it maybe the few dozen dropped calls you get per day? Or is it maybe slow internet cause there's no 3G service? No bars in more places!
