New Amazon Wireless Store

Amazon.com just announced a new wireless store, and I have to admit, I’m impressed. With the new wireless store, you can upgrade your existing cell phone with a new or with your old carrier.

Google tried an online version of a wireless store, and the major setback they faced was that it was difficult to obtain their phone on a family plan upgrade. Their store catered to individual plans.

Not so with the Amazon Wireless store. I checked it out, and you can easily see what the price of a phone would be with a new contract, individual upgrade, or family upgrade. Amazon uses Free-2 Day Shipping and you don’t have to mess with filling out rebates. What you see is what you get.

The major carriers and phones are listed on the site. It’s still in beta, but I’m due for phone upgrade, so Amazon Wireless, here I come.
