Memorial Day weekend is almost upon us, which means T-Mobile and MetroPCS have a slew of deals and devices to offer both new and existing customers.

The highlight of these deals is the 64GB Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, which now cost the same as their respective 32GB versions. Through the promotion, you save $80, bringing the prices of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge down to $670 and $780, respectively. If you opt to pay for either handset on a monthly basis, you’ll pay nothing upfront and pay $28.33 and $32.49 for the 64GB Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, respectively.

If you don’t need that much storage and are perfectly content with 32GB, however, T-Mobile will give you a $50 Visa prepaid gift card when you buy either the 32GB Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge. Either way, you’ll have from May 23 through May 25 to take advantage of these deals.


For those whose wallets aren’t so heavy, however, T-Mobile announced it is now selling the LG G Stylo and the LG Leon LTE. You can nab the Stylo for $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $12.08, or simply buy the phone outright for $290. Meanwhile, the Leon LTE will also go for $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $6.24, with its outright cost being a much more manageable $149.76. More specifically, as originally revealed by an internal memo, the Leon LTE will be free for prepaid customers after promotional rebates.

Not to be left out, MetroPCS will offer the Leon LTE starting May 22 for $50, while the Stylo will be available on June 1 for $200. In addition, MetroPCS is kicking off two promotions today, the first of which offers a free phone or $50 off a pricier handset, if you switch from Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, or another prepaid competitor. Finally, the second promotion involves offering four lines of unlimited talk, text, and 2GB of 4G LTE data for $100 per month.

All in all, these seem like solid promotions, but some of them do have expiration dates, so you might want to take advantage of the deals sooner rather than later.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
