14 DAY TRIAL // T-Mobile USA launched the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G about a week ago, but the smartphone was only available in select retail stores.
Starting today, the Galaxy S Blaze 4G can be purchased online and in all T-Mobile retail stores for as low as $119.99 (90 EUR), after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a new two-year agreement.
Customers who don’t want to commit to a long-term contract can get the Galaxy S Blaze 4G for a suggested retail price of $449.99 (335 EUR).
However, Costco seems to have a much better deal on Galaxy S Blaze 4G, as the major retailer is offering two smartphones at the price of one.
In fact, customers who purchase the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G for only $69.99 (50 EUR) and sign up for a new two-year agreement will get a second one for free.
The BOGO (buy one get one for free) deal on T-Mobile’s 4G-enabled smartphone kicked off last week, so it’s unclear if it’s still available online or at Costco retail locations.
The Galaxy S Blaze 4G was officially announced back in early January at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Moreover, the smartphone was showcased last month at the Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, and made it to the market only a week ago.
This is one of the cheapest Android smartphones with 4G support. It offers users data download speeds up to 42Mbps. Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G is equipped with a powerful 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, which is complemented by an Adreno 220 GPU and 1GB of RAM.
The amount of storage should be enough for Android enthusiasts, as the smartphone embeds 16GB onboard memory, which can be expanded via microSD card up to 32GB.
There’s also a 5-megapixel camera on the back, which features autofocus and HD (720p) video recording, as well as a secondary 1.3-megapixel front facing camera for video calls.
