Black Friday Cell Phone Deals 2008

AT&T Deals
LG Vu - Walmart is in on the Black Friday action with the LG Vu offered for free with a new AT&T plan, and they're throwing in a 2GB SD card and a car charger, both also free. The Vu is a new touchscreen 3G phone with a 2-megapixel camera and Bluetooth that's capable of streaming live TV shows through AT&T's Mobile TV service. We reviewed the LG Dare, another touchscreen device from LG offered by Verizon - you can read this review here.

T-Mobile Deals
Blackberry Curve 8320 - We reviewed the Blackberry Curve 8320 and found it to be a well-rounded device that offers outstanding functionality for business users who need strong messaging and organizer capabilities in addition to decent multimedia features for video and music playback and taking pictures.

Samsung Behold t919 - another great deal from Amazon where this touchscreen phone with a 5-megapixel camera is available for $49.99 after rebates with a 2-year contract.

Sprint Deals
Samsung Instinct - The Instinct is an iPhone competitor from Sprint and we found it to have a nice touchscreen and an interface that's easy to use, and though you can see in our review that it doesn't quite come close to toppling the iPhone from its lofty perch, it's not a bad choice if you want similar capabilities on Sprint's network. Walmart is selling the Instinct for $149.99 today and a mail-in rebate brings the total price down to $49.99 with a new 2-year contract. A Bluetooth headset is included at no cost for good measure as well.
