I'm debating putting this into Hot Deals, since it was a mistake and not everyone will get to take advantage of it.

Jokersmoker just got a thread locked because his 'deal' was a price mistake which I guess doesn't count as a deal. I think it should count but thems the rules.

AFAIK they changed it already. My friend picked one up yesterday and when someone else went back later in the night they changed the price back.

I don't think it was a mistake, I think they did it on purpose, but can't or don't want to call it a sale. I went in Monday nigth after reading about it on Yahoo, and the salesman said the price was changed back and they weren't selling them anymore for $99.00; he even said the price had been on Sunday, and I was a whole day late, but that he would sell it to me for $99.00 anyway, which he did. I like it pretty well, but I have never used an I phone nor a Blackberry, so I really don't have anything to compare it to.

It's a really great phone. It does some things better than an iPhone and some things an iPhone doesn't do but of course the iPhone does some things better as well. It's great competition for the iPhone. Virtual keyboards suck.
