Today, I got an email from Amazon (full disclosure - I run Amazon ads on this site and do get paid a small commission on sales through Amazon links on here. That said, you'll note that I really, truly do like the company - I linked people to them long before I ever signed up with Amazon Associates to run their ads) advertising a new service - Amazon Wireless.
To be honest, this doesn't seem a whole lot different from what Amazon has been doing with cell phones for a long time, except it's on it's own website. As usual, all "gotchas" about buying from any dealer vs a carrier store do apply, and you need to be careful. I haven't looked close enough to see if they have any added dealer termination fees, for example. Most dealers do for the first six months or so. However, one thing I really like is NO MAIL-IN REBATES. The price you see is the price you pay. And the prices are good! Motorola Droid for $19.99, for example. They sell AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile with Sprint mentioned as "coming soon" in a few places. Some popular handsets such as the Apple iPhone and the HTC Droid Incredible are notably missing (though I would expect the Droid Incredible to be added soon - not so likely on the iPhone).
Anyways, if you're looking to get a new phone with AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile (and maybe Sprint soon), head on over and check out Amazon Wireless. I think what they're offering seem like pretty good deals, and Amazon has always treated their customers well.
