Wouldn’t it be great to have enough money to splurge for both the necessities and the absurd on Amazon? Well, the online marketplace is giving everyone a chance to do just that. All you have to do is download an app.

From now until April 15, you have a chance to win a $25,000 shopping spree on Amazon. That’s not exactly chump change, and you can get quite a bit of shopping done with that much money. If you want an opportunity at winning the sweepstakes, though, you’ll have to jump through a few hoops.

For starters, the contest is only open to U.S. customers 18 years of age or older. Sorry, international readers. Secondly, you’ll have to be registered on Amazon’s website. You’ll then need to download and install the Amazon Appstore on your Android device, if you haven’t done so already. Finally, you must download an app, whether it’s free or paid. Regardless of how many apps you download, you are only given one entry, though, so loading up your device with Amazon apps won’t increase your chances one iota.

If you want your shot at a $25,000 Amazon shopping spree, and don’t mind loading up the Amazon Appstore on your device, head on over to the registration page and sign up. What do you have to lose?

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
