With all the Black Friday deals this year, a cell phone carrier would probably be the last place on your list of places to visit. Verizon realizes that, and is offering its Back Friday deals from Friday to Monday. Not a bad idea for those who are busy running to other retailers, and also those who need a bit more time to decide on buying anything with a two-year contract. Included in Verizon’s Black Friday deals is a price drop for the Gateway LT netbook. The netbook usually runs $100 with a two-year contract but will cost only $30 for the weekend. Also included in the deals are $10 smartphones, including both the HTC OZone and BlackBerry Pearl. Not the newest smartphones, but for $10, not a bad option. Not only will one be $10, but a second, identical smartphone, will be free, though will likely require a second contract. Other deals include $30 buy-on-get-one-free feature phones like the Nokia Twist and LG Versa in addition to a $50 mail-in rebate fr the MiFi, knocking it down to $50. Overall, the deals from Verizon aren’t too bad. They definitely knock the price down for some decent devices. A $30 netbook isn’t bad at all if you plan on getting one with a two-year contract. $50 for a MiFi, even after a mail-in rebate, is a decent deal as well, and probably the most useful out of the bunch for many people. With those exceptions, chances are you can most of the deals any other time of the year, though they might not have the buy-one-get-one-free deals, and they might come from other retailers, which can be an issue for some people.

Section: Communications, Cellular Providers, Broadband Cards, Mobile, Computers, Wireless Possibly my favorite gadget purchase of the year is the MiFi. And it looks like those in Canada will soon be able to get one of their own by way of Bell. I should point out that this is still in the rumor stage, which means we are still awaiting an official announcement. However, assuming for a minute that the rumor is indeed true, then the Bell MiFi 2372 will be available beginning on November 30. And price wise it will set any would be purchasers back $249.95 or $99.95 with a three-year agreement. That said, this MiFi has some similarities to the version found here in the US with Sprint and Verizon in that it will allow up to 5 users to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot that it creates. But there is one nice difference in this model, it comes with a memory card slot that can support cards up to 16GB in size. Portable Wi-Fi is good, but portable Wi-Fi with built-in storage is even nicer. Via [BGR] Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 
Section: Communications, Cellphones, Cellular Providers, Smartphones, Mobile  Quickly becoming the place to buy cellphones on the cheap, Walmart is bringing its low-cost ways to the weary cell phone buyer. One has to wonder about some of the deals on their site offering up to $100 to take home some very decent phones. Have they gone too far?
$100 in your pocket #1: Sidekick Slider from T-Mobile Walmart will send you a check for $100 after you agree to a two year contract with T-Mobile on their LetsTalk site. Is the Sidekick that bad a phone? Or is it the recent trouble Microsoft ran into with Sidekick owner information? The phone was launched back in 2007, and only received 3 out of five stars for most reviews. The keyboard isn’t fantastic and it is a bit chunky by today’s standards. It is probably a safe bet that the incident that involved user data being lost is not likely to happen again. $100 in your pocket #2: BlackBerry Curve 8330 (pink) from Verizon This BlackBerry, first sold back in 2008 might be an older model, but it is one of the best. Featuring GPS, 2.0 mp camera and of course, the great BlackBerry messaging service. Getting paid to bring this one home is icing on the cake. While there are other phones that offer you a bounty to order them, there are many that are free as well. Phones like the original BlackBerry Bold, considered to be the best BlackBerry ever by many, Samsung Instinct and lots more. If you are looking for a new mobile phone this holiday season, check out Walmart’s LetsTalk site.

Section: Computers, Mobile Computers, Netbooks, Gadgets / Other  The New York Times has recently begun offering a $100 off on the purchase of a new Samsung Go netbook. Of course, the catch here is that you need to become a NYT subscriber in order to get that $100 savings.
Basically, the offer is simple—become a Times Reader 2.0 subscriber and get $100 off on a Samsung Go netbook.
The Times Reader 2.0 subscription will set you back $179.40 for a one-year subscription and then you will get your “Times Reader Coupon” which will entitle you to purchase the Samsung Go by way of J&R for $279.99. In terms of the netbook, feature wise it has a 10.1-inch display, 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and is running Windows XP Home. All things considered, this is not that bad of a deal, assuming you were already planning on becoming a Times Reader 2.0 subscriber. That said, I would not subscribe just to save the $100 on the netbook. Of course, if this was on a more portable, or more reading focused device such as an ebook reader I may be more enticed.

Section: Gaming, Console, Portable  Walmart is showing off their Black Friday deals and chief among them is a major price slash for the Nintendo DS Lite portable game system. The event this Friday takes the price from $129 down to just $98. The sale looks to cover all colors and is for just the console, no bundle here.
Walmart is helping us out by showing us some of Friday’s big savers based on your local store. After entering in your zip code on their website, shoppers are directed to their local advertisement and a map of the store, so you can plan your sprint, weave and spin moves to get you into the sale item line. Remember, this year most Walmarts are staying open to alleviate any lines at the door, the lines will be at product displays, inside.
