NFC phone $50, bargain for Google Nexus S 4G

Google Nexus S 4G is now only $49.99 at both Amazon and WireFly. We don’t often advertise where to get products, but from time to time a bargain comes around we think you will want to know about, and today is one of those days. If you have been wanting an NFC capable phone and you live in the US, you will have known that Sprint has the Google Nexus S 4G. The pure Google experience smartphone is still one of the most capable phones available and is the only phone at this time that is NFC-enabled. In fact, it was only Thursday that we reported that the secure element was being enabled on the Google Nexus S 4G in an update that improved the overall handling of the phone. The Google Nexus S 4G will also be among the first phones to rock the new Android OS Ice Cream Sandwich.

Google Wallet NFC Capable phone under $50 rocking on WiMax it can only be the Google Nexus S 4G

At this time, the two big features that people are looking for in their smartphones are NFC and the ability to slipstream along on a 4G network. Sprint has WiMax at this time and it is pretty fast with peak download speeds of more than 10 Mbps; peak upload speeds of 1 Mbps; and real world average download speeds of 3-6 Mbps. The Google Nexus S 4G has NFC and Sprint has partnered with Google for the Google Wallet. You can order your Google Nexus S 4G today and take on no real risk and be able to upgrade when you want. See below for details on that.

Here’s the rub contractually of getting the Google Nexus S 4G on Sprint

Over at Amazon, they are currently charging just $50 for the Google Nexus S 4G. We don’t have to tell you that $50 is cheap by anyone’s standard for a phone of this quality, but if we were you we would have this objection: I don’t want to get caught in a contract. You may not have to. To buy the Google Nexus S 4G off contract, the cheapest we found on Amazon is currently $459.99. To get out of a Sprint contract is $200 for the first 5 months and then goes down $10 every month after that. If you get the same phone with a contract on T-Mobile today, they will charge you $199 for the pleasure. A used Google Nexus S 4G on eBay is averaging around $230 and new is costing around $325, but if you are buying off of eBay be sure to get a clear ESN or you could be the proud owner of a bricked phone. So, it costs you $50 to get your grubby mitts on the Google Nexus S 4G, you can likely sell it and pay off any early termination fee when something better comes along. You will be ready for Google Wallet, have NFC and walk around for the next few months with a great phone. You may even save a few bucks on your bill per month, so where is the downside? Click this link to get the  Samsung Nexus S 4G NFC phone $50, bargain for Google Nexus S 4G at Amazon or head over to WireFly NFC phone $50, bargain for Google Nexus S 4G, both have free shipping so order your Google Nexus 4G while the deal lasts.
