Amazon launches AmazonWireless, a new place to purchase cell phones

Today, Amazon launched a new website called “AmazonWireless” that aims to sell cell phones at affordable and competitive prices.  Basically, they want to offer cell phones and plans to ease the shopping experience and to not have customers worry about rebates.

In addition, the beta AmazonWireless will have guaranteed free two day shipping, which is a nice gesture from Amazon.  AmazonWireless aims to help both customers who are looking to upgrade, or ink a new contract.  Essentially, they have created a system that will help you find the phone you want easily and efficiently. 

I can’t imagine Gadgetell readers having this problem, but sometimes cell phone spec details contains crazy technical terms, and Amazon emphasizes the fact they took away all that jargon, making it easier for the casual customer.  Also with mail in rebates out of the picture, customers don’t have to worry about forgetting to submit the rebate. 

Since the website is still in the Beta stage, AmazonWireless only contains around 130 phones.  All of these phones are either on the Verizon network or the AT&T network.  I imagine they will expand to cover more carriers and phones shortly.  Furthermore, you can sort through phones by brand, carrier, color, prince, or a specific feature. 

Since this website is a product of Amazon, I expect it to be fairly popular - once it expands to most carriers, anyway.
