T-Mobile already slashing prices on Samsung Galaxy Tab, Vibrant phone

15 years ago

“T-Mobile today quietly cut prices permanently on some of Samsung’s Android devices unusually early. Its version of the Galaxy Tab is now the least expensive of any US carrier when attached to a contract, dropping $50 to $350. The Vibrant has itself dropped down to $150 on similar terms,” Electronista reports.

“The reasons for the cuts aren’t known. The Vibrant is now a few months old but is still the network’s premier smartphone. Its Galaxy Tab was already tied for Sprint for the least expensive model on contract,” Electronista reports. “As the smallest of the large national carriers, T-Mobile has often had to use price to draw in customers and may simply be hoping to get an edge over others. Early price cuts, however, are usually signs of slow sales.”
