ATT selling HTC surround for $0.01

HTC surround which is part of the first wave of WP7 devices to hit U.S. is being sold by AT&T for $0.01 on a 2-yr. contract. Usually such subsidized pricing is offered by third party seller.

After the news of AT&T acquiring T-Mobile, customers wanting a WP7 device do not have many options because if AT&T is successful in the acquisition, than most T-Mobile devices might stop running HSPA+ as AT&T will be using the 1700MHZ spectrum for their LTE and T-Mobile devices might only be left running on EDGE.

Then again at this point all this is speculation as the deal has not been approved yet. In any case HTC Surround is a good WP7 device and at $0.01, it doesn’t get any cheaper.
