Motorola Droid just $119 from Dell

We love seeing hot new smartphones getting their price tags slashed mere weeks after its initial launch. The latest price reduction on the Motorola (NYSE: MOT) Droid comes from Dell.com, making it possible to put a Droid in your pocket for just $119 and a 2-year contract with Verizon (NYSE: VZ) Wireless. The deal also applies to contract extensions, so you don’t have to wait until you’re eligible for an upgrade to take advantage of the low price.
If you like high-tech smartphones and want an Android-powered handset, the Droid fits the bill perfectly. If you’re not sure that the Droid is for you, check out our hands-on impressions and video. Keep in mind that the Droid is so far the only Android smartphone to rock the new Google Maps Navigation app.
To recap: Dell is selling the Droid for $119 with new 2-year contract (or a contract extension for existing customers), and will even ship the handset to you for free via Fedex. That’s one “hot deal,” to be sure.
USD450 in subsidies. Verizon must be really desperate or the 2 year contract is one big black hole for the user’s wallet.
If you are an existing customer of Verizon, the only way you get this phone for $120 is if you are already eligible for an upgrade.
Make no mistake — it’s a great deal because you’ll save $80 over the price you’d pay today by walking into a Verizon retail store.
But you can’t do the deal if you are not eligible for an upgrade right now.
I am waiting on anyone else but DEll.com. Dell sucks! They won’t allow my order to come through..
I am hoping HP or Lenovo will host this sale. HP and Lenovo PC and servers are better than Dell.
Dell is bad, Dell is evil.
