Amazon seems to be set on becoming our number one place to buy Android devices. Last month we saw the company sell the Motorola Atrix 4G for a measly $49 price. Now the web giant is back for revenge, selling the T-Mobile G2x for just $99 and the just-released Sidekick 4G for $29. Like usual, you’ll have to sign a new 2-year contract with T-Mobile to be eligible for these deals.

On the T-Mobile G2x’s case, for $99 you’ll enjoy the following features:

  • Android 2.2 Froyo
  • NVIDIA Tegra 2 AP20H dual-core processor (2X 1 GHz)
  • 4G/3G capable,Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
  • 8 GB of internal memory (ROM)
  • 32 GB of expandable memory with MicroSD card slot
  • 512 MB of RAM
  • 4-inch (diagonal) wide screen
  • Corning Gorilla Glass capacitive touch screen
  • 800-by-400-pixel resolution
  • DLNA® compatibility with HDMI micro out
  • 1080p HD video recording
  • 8-megapixel still camera and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera
  • LED flash and auto focus
  • Adobe Flash capable

Whew! That’s a lot. For $29, the more economical Sidekick 4G will give you all these features:

  • Android 2.2 Froyo
  • 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor
  • 4G/3G capable,Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n

  • 3.5-inch (480 x 800) touch screen
  • VGA front-facing camera and rear-facing 3-megapixel

Do any of these two phones with those incredibly low prices convince you to sign away two years of your life to T-Mobile? Me personally, I’m having a hard time not doing it.
