Black Friday Smartphone Deals

Black Friday is night, and the web is crawling with fantastic deals on cell phones and related technology products. Cell phone manufacturers and distributors alike know how competitive the draw for customers is, and they’ve consequently made a great showing this year.

For example, Amazon Wireless is offering a selection of Android phones for Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint for just one cent. Admittedly it comes with a contract (that costs more than a cent), but that price is still a steal for models like the HTC Droid Incredible, the Motorola Droid X, and the Samsung Captivate. The T-Mobile MyTouch 3G slide is also available for a penny at Costco.

T-Mobile has announced a buy-one-get-one-free promotion on featured smartphones for customers signing up for a two year family plan, and Verizon is giving away their $100 jawbone Icon Bluetooth headset to buyers of select smartphones.

Retailers have hopped on the Black Friday bandwagon as well. Best Buy is selling the RIM Blackberry Style for $69.99 ($30 off) and you could get the HTC Evo 4G and Samsung Epic 4G online from Radio Shack for $149.99 and $199.99, respectively. The Samsung Continuum is available at Target at the $120 discount of $79.99, and Quantum Wireless’ Black Friday sales include the YX545 cell signal booster from Wi-Ex zBoost.

If you’ve been itching for a new smartphone or other gadget of the sort, now is the time to make good on it. Deals this good only come about once a year, so get on them while they still last.
