We did tell you that the Nuvifone G60, launched by Garmin Asus a lot later than supposed to, was too expensive than it should be. And it looks like Amazon tends to agree with that. Amazon hasn’t been selling that many G60 units so far and thus it has decided to offer a $200 discount on the G60. The phone is available now for just $100 but would you really buy it? The Droid is in the house and it costs only $199.99 while the Droid Eris is going to be available for $99.99.

Sprint has recently announced that they will be lowering the price of the HTC Touch Pro2 from $349 to a much more palatable $199.99 starting on October 1st.

This was most likely due to the fact that Verizon has had the Touch Pro2 at $199.99 for some time now. That and who is going to buy a Windows Mobile device for such a high price unless it’s the HTC Leo?

We’ve known about MSI’s ultrathin X340 notebook since March and at the time, it looked like a very capable device. However, enough users must have had gripes about it because we were recently notified that MSI has made some hardware changes.

The X340 will come standard with an 8-cell battery, as opposed to the previous 4-cell, the device’s keyboard will be getting an update which Laptop Magazine says will make it “no longer act like a trampoline”. And finally, MSI will cut $100 off the X340’s price tag making it now available for $799.

Any buyers?

Despite being released in Canada only recently, Rogers Wireless has announced that they will be lowering the prices of both the HTC Dream and HTC Magic to $99.99.

Of course, you’ll have to opt for a 3-year contract before you get the lowered price but $99.99 for an Android phone? Count me in.

Hell, after seeing that a hacker got HTC’s Sense UI running on one of these phones makes the deal even more enticing.

If you were looking to pick up an LG enV3 or enV TOUCH now may be the time sa Verizon wireless has announced that they will begin offering the two handsets at a discounted price starting today.

When they first hit the market a few weeks ago the enV3 cost $129 while the enV TOUCH cost $149. Now, the enV3 is priced at $79.99 and the enV TOUCH at $99.99, both on 2 year contracts of course.

Of course those early adopters who bought the two mobile devices when they first came out are seemingly out of luck but then again aren’t those who adopt early always shafted somehow?

While the Blackberry Bold has been on AT&T for some time now, the 8900 was just introduced to the service but regardless, both phones are getting a price drop.

Originally priced at $299.99 the Bold will be getting a price drop of $100 to $199.99 while the 8900 gets dropped from $199.99 to $149.99.

These are both welcome price drops considering they are 2 highly sought after phones. Perhaps RIM is looking to boost their market share before Apple drops a new iPhone?

Verizon Wireless is looking towards the future and the futures seems to have LTE and CDMA all over it. According to Verizon’s CTO Tony Melone the company is working hard on its 700MHz LTE. Phase four trials are scheduled in selected markets for the end of 2009. By 2010 the 4G network will be available for all of us and it will grow rapidly in the following years. Verizon’s CDMA network will stay in place at least until 2018 or 2020. The EV-DO network however will be replaced a lot faster by the new LTE network.

If all that wasn’t good news then here’s something else for you: Verizon will lower data services in the near future. Melone said that “pricing is inhibiting the growth of this market. Quite frankly, this is likely to change even before LTE.” We have no specifics yet but we’ll be back with all the numbers once Verizon will announce them.

I bet HP doesn’t like the new Microsoft commercials especially if they will end up promoting Vista as the perfect OS. From confirmed and unconfirmed sources it appears that HP has some of its money invested in two directions, both meant to cut Vista out of their current line and possible compete to a closer than ever Apple.

Let’s start with Vista. It sucks! That was easy! HP knows this and it is moving to Linux, or even better, it is building a replacement OS based on Linux. All that is being denied so far. The other rumor is that HP is developing a software which will modify Vista to bring out the best in it.

The chief technology officer of HP’s PC division, a Phil McKinny, is absolutely denying such nonsense. But he admits to such conversations which might have taken place below senior management levels. You know, in the dungeons of HP, where the true leaders are.

HP feels Apple breathing down their neck and knows for sure that as soon as Apple smartens to a point where it will lower PC and laptops prices, the Cupertino-based out of the box company will take a huge share of the market. Everyone would get a Mac if they were cheap enough right? Beware HP, that might actually happen in a little over a month from now.

Owning that big 40% chunk of the world cell phone market doesn’t seem enough for the Finnish giant, as Nokia has announced up to 10% cut in price on many of its handsets. Most of the mobile phones seeing this fall come from Nokia’s music and media range, with smaller reductions across other lineups as well. Among the models seeing a significant drop are the XpressMusic 5310 and 5610 along with the N81 8GB. Good news to Nokia fanboys, but it remains to be seen how the other major manufacturers will retaliate, struggling already to gain a larger market for their products. Nokia already has a strong foothold in emerging countries like India, not giving other players much leeway to peddle their products in those markets. Still, this shouldn’t affect those die-hard Sony Ericsson and Motorola fans who wouldn’t budge their stance even if Nokia cut the prices in half, right?
