sincity Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Sprint customers won't have to bend over backwards or even flex their muscles to get their hands on LG's first bendable smartphone, but their wallet might get a real workout from the price. Sprint today announced that online preorders have begun for the LG G Flex, which the manufacturer is billing as "the world's first curved, flexible smartphone." Sprint currently has the upper hand when it comes to offering the handset, whose six-inch bendable HD OLED display is unique (at least for now) among Android smartphones. The LG G Flex will also be a first for customers in areas covered by Sprint Spark, the supercharged enhanced LTE capable of peak data speeds up to 60Mbps. Flex your wallet Priced at a bulging $299.99 with a two-year service agreement for new or existing customers, online preorders placed today with an Unlimited, My Way or My All-In plan are expected to arrive by Friday, January 31. Ironically, that's the same date Sprint's other non-retail channels will begin offering the G Flex, with retail store availability kicking off a week later on Friday, February 7. Customers ordering during the January 16-31 online preorder window will receive a free Quickwindow Folio Case for G Flex as a bonus, which the carrier claims is a $59.99 retail value. Unfortunately, customers on Sprint's new Framily plans will have to wait until February 7 to buy the LG G Flex in a retail store, but they'll have a lighter load on the wallet by shelling out a $149.99 down payment and have 24 months to pay off the remainder.
