The 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD 4G LTE – yes, that’s the name of the device – will feature the same basic specs and features that the regular 8.9-inch model has to offer. But, as expected, this special Kindle Fire HD 4G LTE will also include a few special tricks up its sleeve on top of the characteristics of the Wi-Fi version:
- Amazon-designed 2.2mm thick LTE antenna
- 4G LTE connectivity
- 32GB of storage
The LTE version will cost $499, can be pre-ordered starting today and will ship on November 20, alongside other Kindle Fire HD versions.
But we have more news for you! Amazon decided a Kindle Fire version with wireless connectivity is not enough for its customers. The company has also announced a special Amazon 4G LTE Package that will cost $49.99 per year. For that price, Amazon customers that buy the LTE tablet will get 4G LTE support, 250MB of monthly traffic (3GB of yearly traffic), 20GB of cloud storage and $10 Amazon Appstore credit. Not a bad deal if you want to experience some very cheap 4G LTE connectivity on a device geared towards content-consumption – although that 250MB of monthly allowance may not be good enough for you, and there’s no telling what happens after that cap is reached.
Any takers?
