Amazon UK discounted pre-order of Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional looks to be selling out fast! Hurry!

Posted: 15 Jul 2009 12:00 PM PDT

Amazon UK’s pre-order for Windows 7 officially went live on July 15, 2009 at 00:00 BST and the “promo” is set to end on August 9, 2009 at 23:59 BST. But don’t wait until the last minute because the offer is good only while supplies last! The US pre-order of Windows 7 just ended a couple of days ago. Now, it’s Europe’s turn!

Windows 7 Home Premium E already appears to be sold out on Amazon UK while Windows 7 Professional E still looks plentiful.

Pre-order price for Home Premium E is £50 while for Professional E, £100. But Amazon UK looks to be selling the latter for just £90 right now!

AT&T Nokia Surge, socially supercharged smartphone with full QWERTY, arriving on July 19, 2009

Posted: 15 Jul 2009 09:30 AM PDT

AT&T Nokia Surge (with QWERTY Slide-out Keyboard)

I guess it’s about time Nokia came up with something to rival T-Mobile’s Sidekick LX 2009. Nokia’s “socially supercharged” Surge features a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and runs on the Symbian S60 interface. It also features a 2.4″ QVGA (320 x 240) resolution screen, HSDPA connectivity up to 3.6Mbps, 2 megapixel camera, microSD expansion up to 8GB. It runs on a 1500mAh battery, same as the E71x if I’m not mistaken, which definitely means that you’ll get loads of talk and standby time.

Not quite sure how well this is going to sell since Symbian is not widely accepted across the United States.

The Nokia Surge will be available online and in-store via AT&T starting July 19, 2009. It will be priced at $79.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate, which comes in the form of an AT&T Promotion Card. As always, a two-year service agreement is required.

The Nokia Surge offers multimedia and entertainment features, including:

  • 2.0 megapixel camera — Customers can capture quality photos with color camera and 4X digital zoom
  • AT&T Navigator — AT&T Navigator provides audible turn-by-turn directions, monitors traffic and alerts users when there is a slowdown or incident
  • AT&T Mobile Music — Customers can listen and download their favorite music from Napster Mobile, eMusic Mobile, XM Radio and more over the air
  • AT&T Video Share — The first-ever service in the U.S. that allows users to share live video over wireless devices while participating in a voice call
  • JuiceCaster — Customers can share videos and pictures from their wireless device to the Web’s most popular sites including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr

If you’re into the nitty gritty of technology stuff, here is the specifications sheet (in PDF format) for the device. Also, below is AT&T’s commercial for the socially supercharged Nokia Surge.

Amazon and Deep Discount DVD/Blu-ray sales for July 2009

Posted: 15 Jul 2009 06:00 AM PDT

Amazon Boxed Set Sale, Save up to 60% on over 1000 titles. (July 2009)

Coinciding with Deep Discount’s semi-annual sale, Amazon is holding a DVD/Blu-ray sale of their own. They have divided into a few categories. Most, if not all, include a healthy tandem of DVDs and Blu-rays:

If you’d rather participate on Deep Discount’s sale, use code HOTSTUFF during checkout for 25% off your whole order. Take note that they ship slower than Amazon and that they usually jack up prices during the sale.

I’ll post again once the Deep Discount sale is live. Of course, you can try if the code already works because sometimes there’s a glitch in their system but I think it would be better to wait until it officially starts on July 17. The Deep Discount sale will run until August 2, 2009.
