Amazon unveils AmazonWireless, a new site that offers cell phones and service plans from popular cell phone carriers.

This been in beta longer than Thursday. It's been out longer than June 21, 2009 or longer because I've seen people recommend this site even before you knew it was in beta. Very good site to get good deals on phones when you are renewing.

After what Amazon did to Delicious Monster last week, there ain't no way I'm using their wireless stuff. They need to get over themselves.

Small market. Existing customers out of contract still can't see their discounted prices. They continue to show the outagious retail which no one buys. Makes me bail and just go directly to carrier to find a phone that doesn't have a rebate. Website is overall useless.

I just placed an order for a Samsung Eternity. Amazon recognized that I was eligible for an AT&T loyalty discount (and confirmed this very quickly during my processing - I never left the page!) and offered me the phone for a penny. Free, 2-day shipping and no activation charges.

Of some concern is the asterisk at the bottom of Amazon's penny total where it seems to allow AT&T to tack on extra charges and/or activation fees. I'm hoping that won't happen.
