Posted on by Stephen Schenck

Yesterday we picked up on a rumor that Sprint was about to welcome its first Sharp Aquos smartphone to its lineup, with word that the Aquos Crystal would be announced today. At least, Sprint was teasing a “take the edge off” announcement and the Aquos Crystal sports a blink-and-you-miss-it super-thin bezel.

iPhone deals are odd at this time of year, and that’s mainly because Apple is not open to discounting anything. It’s common to see this happen close to an iPhone announcement, but we don’t expect the next-generation iPhone to launch until June.

Right now you can get the 16GB iPhone 5s for $385, the 32GB model for $455, and the 64GB model for $525, which is insane, and specially in that ...
