Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales?

Any word on the Optimus Slider going on sale?

Personally, from what I can find, it looks like it would be better to buy the Rise at $30. You get ICS (instead of GB), a faster processor, a slightly larger screen and more built in storage. Especially at this price, I can't see what would make the Slider a better deal.

It also seems weird to me that the Optimus Elite is being marketed as a PayLo device. Anyone have thoughts about that?

You can still use the $25 plan with the Slider, but not with the Rise.

The solder wouldn't be for me it would be for my mom. She kinda hates full touch screen phones and wants a phone with a slide out keyboard. So that's why I ask.

Just got back from Radio Shack. They have the HTC One V for $99.99 Black Friday. They also have a "Red Hot Sale" from 11/18 - 11/21. In that one the Samsung Galaxie S II is $299.99 plus free $35 airtime. :D Both sales have coupons of $10 for every $50 spent. The Galaxie S II will get $50 in coupons. They cannot be combined so each coupon has to be used separately. :mad:

This is Virgin Mobile only. They have other sales for Boost, etc.

Did the Radio Shack have both White & Titanium Galaxy SII's? The Virgin Mobile web site says Costo gets white only, and Radio Shack gets titanium only...

Couldn't tell for sure from the ad (which I kept). Looks dark though. The salesgirl wasn't even aware of the sale. Had to point it out since she was also wanting a SG2 and was looking at Boost. Was happy I pointed it out as she preferred VM... Felt like I was a salesman for her... :D
