Amazon is selling the entire lineup of Verizon Wireless smartphones for a penny each with a 2-year contract this week — all except for the Apple iPhone 4S of course, which is launching today.

If you try to buy the Droid Bionic direct from Verizon’s website, the phone costs $300, while the BlackBerry Bold 9930 (for some reason) retails for $250.
Some other cool phones worth considering from Verizon include the HTC Thunderbolt 4G, Motorola Droid 3 Global, LG Revolution 4G and the HTC Droid Incredible 2. All of these devices have an ideal use case, so look carefully and find the right one for you. Amazon’s sale ends on 11:59 p.m. PDT on Oct. 17.
