(Update 2/27 6:36pm): Our apologies, this promo is only for new activations, not upgrades. The original draft of this post was incorrect.

Best Buy will give you a free $150 or $200 gift card when you activate a line with any new smartphone on Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint. You’ll need to do so using carrier installment plans: Verizon Edge, AT&T Next, or Sprint Easy Pay/Leasing — upgrades of any kind and of course, full-priced no-commitment smartphone purchases are not eligible for the gift card bonus.

AT&T and Verizon new line activations will yield a free $150 gift card, while Sprint will get you $200 (in-store only).

The promo covers a range of smartphones including iPhone 6/Plus (in-store pickup only), iPhone 5s/c, LG G2, HTC One M8, Nokia Lumia 1520, and several others.

Verizon FiOS goes symmetrical, upload speeds now blaze at same rate as downloads at same cost

-
DealsVerizon

Today Verizon announced that their FiOS customers will receive upload speeds that match their current download speeds. This upgrade is for everyone, both existing customers and new subscribers.

Now you might be familiar with Verizon’s throttling of Netflix or its mediocrity when streaming Youtube (the number 1 and 2 reasons for getting high speed internet) and those things haven’t changed nor has their anti net-neutrality stance.

But frankly, you don’t have much of a choice out there. Comcast is worse and as the FCC deregulates, it doesn’t look good unless Google Fiber is coming to your town.

Before the upgrade, the tiers were 50/25, 75/35, 150/65, 300/65, and 500/100, but now in all cases, the second # (the upload speed) will increase to match the download speed.

Our favorite packages, the $50 for 50/50 Mb FiOS + HBO, local channels and some noteworthy HD channels including ESPN also got the upgrade making the deal even sweeter.

 

There are many more packages now available at Verizon. Press release follows.

It features a 5-inch full HD (440 PPI) display, duo camera with UltraPixel, and a premium high-quality metal housing. (via CNET)

9to5Google was extremely impressed with the hardware of this new handset:

If hardware quality was the only factor in buying a phone, you could stop reading right here and go out and buy the HTC One M8 – it is the best looking, best built (AFAICT after 3 days) phone out there, bar none.

Verizon Moto X for 1 cent on-contract + $100 bill credit this week only, $329 unlocked

-
FeatureFreeDealsAndroidMotorolaVerizon

If you happened to miss out on that recent Valentine’s Day sale from Motorola, the company announced on Twitter that it’s offering the Moto X for 1 cent on contract through Verizon or $70 off unlocked. That means you can pick up the 16GB Moto X customized through Moto Maker starting at $329 off contract. The penny deal will require you to sign up to a two-year contract through Verizon, and an additional $50 on either of the deals will bump you up from the 16GB to the 32GB model.

An even better deal is available through Amazon, however, with an additional $100 bill credit for those activating a new Verizon line on-contract. You might also be able to take advantage of that bill credit through Moto Maker for devices activated on Verizon, but there’s no mention of the offer on the site.

AppleBest BuyDealsiPhoneVerizon

Best Buy is knocking $75 off any iPhone 5s when you agree to sign a new 2 yr contract. Just to clarify, this includes all carriers, colors, and capacities. This is one of the only deals we have seen on the 32GB/64GB models since they were introduced this fall. Act quick, Some popular models (16GB, gold, etc) are already selling out online but are available for in-store pickup. As a pricing comparison, AT&T ran a promo in November offering the 16GB model for $100, but did not discount any other capacities or carriers (obviously!). The iPhone 5c is also available for $50.

The iPhone 5s features Touch ID security, an A7 chip with 64-bit architecture, and an improved iSight camera with slow-mo/burst mode capabilities.

AmazonDealsAndroidMotorolaVerizon

We are seeing one of the best deals yet on Motorola’s Moto X, now that Amazon is offering the device for just a penny with a two year contract.

For a little while there, Verizon was offering the Moto X for just $50 along with the use of its online customization tool, which allows users to choose the color of the device and its accents along with an inscription. Even though today’s deal doesn’t allow for the use of the Moto Maker customization app, with the half off promo now over, Amazon’s offer is not one to be missed for those in the market for a Moto X. It also comes on Verizon, which means customers will be able to upgrade to KitKat right away.
