Help my Mom go Android on the cheap via Moto Atrix

August 17, 2011 9:04 AM

My 72 year-old, reasonably tech-savvy Mom is taking the smartphone plunge and planning to buy a Motorola Atrix via AT&T. On Amazon Wireless a new Atrix is 29 bucks, while the CostCo price is 90 bucks after rebate. Any difference, other than a couple of accessories and Amazon's extra cancellation fee before 180 days?

Did you notice what the contract term is? Amazon's may be for a 2 year contract and Costco's may be for 1 yr.

Response by poster: I'm pretty sure she said the contract length was the same, but will bring it up with her.

Best answer: There shouldn't be a difference. I bought my Atrix from Amazon Wireless and everything was as you'd expect it to be.
