    Amazon Wireless Aims To Make Cellphone Shopping Easier

    For many of us, cellphone shopping really means choosing between the major smartphone brands—but for those of us looking at a broader range of devices and plans, Amazon has developed a new site to help make the process easier.

    Amazon Wireless offers services like:

    •Easy shopping for cell phones and service wireless plans without rebate hassles
    •Shopping by carrier, phone feature, price, color and brand
    •The ability to purchase a phone and take advantage of upgrade benefits
    •Free Two-Day Shipping on a broad selection of phones from AT&T and Verizon Wireless
    •Bestseller lists, detailed product descriptions and customer reviews.

    The site currently offers a selection of around 130 phones (it's in beta), but right off the bat the fact that carriers are limited to AT&T and Verizon really limits the usefulness of the service. Still, it is another resource worth checking out if you are shopping around. [Amazon Wireless]
