Amp'd Officially Launches Nationwide
Jan 9, 2006, 2:44 PM by (staff)
Amp'd Friday launched its service nationwide, with 2 additional handsets and new pricing. Customers will need to visit Amp'd's website in order to choose one of three handsets and order service and accessories. Amp'd will offer the Jet - a black slider from Kyocera based on the Slider Remix design, the Angel - a glossy white version of the Jet, or the Hollywood - a modified Motorola e815. Service will run $30 per month to $200 per month for unlimited calls and data. Downloads, including videos and music will cost extra. Dual music downloads to the phone and PC cost 99 cents, less than half of what Verizon or Sprint charges. Separately, MTV - which made a $30 million investment in Amp'd - announced they have also signed a deal with Virgin Mobile for exclusive content and sponsorships.

Hollywood E816
The only two available for purchase right now are the slider phones.
Looks like those wanting the E816 will have to wait a little while longer.

Hopefully They Won't Cripple MP3 Functionality the Way VCast Music and Verizon Did...
I hope their music download service aint a 'VCast music clone' which will fark wit' mp3 playback the way that VCast does. The 99 cents/download price Amp'd is charging is more reasonable than the competition, so Amp'd may actually have one of most attractive music download services of any of the carriers.. IF they don't frack up the mp3s.
