BF Deal Alert: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc X12 For $319.99 ($230 Off) On Newegg

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in AT&T, News, Sony Ericsson, Xperia Arc (Anzu, X12)

Thanksgiving is over, but you know what that means - Black Friday is now officially in full effect, and we're seeing some pretty good deals, some of which are getting snatched up in mere seconds (cough, $199.99 Toshiba Thrive).

One of such BF deals is the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc X12 with AT&T 3G frequencies for $319.99. The MSRP is listed at $549.99, and the price before today was somewhere around $370, so if you're looking for a slim and sexy Android Gingerbread device without signing a contract, this phone may very well be for you.

The Arc, which we absolutely loved at CES this year, features the following:

1GHz Scorpion CPU (MSM8255)
Adreno 205 GPU
512MB RAM
512MB internal storage
4.2" 854x480 TFT display
8.1MP camera with F2.4 aperture, 720p recording, and Mobile Bravia Engine technology
8.7mm
117g
full HDMI out with HDMI CEC

Off-Contract Virgin Mobile USA Wildfire S On Sale For $99.99 (Half Off) Till November 26th

Posted by Jaroslav Stekl in Deals, HTC, Virgin Mobile, Wildfire S / Wildfire 2 (Marvel)

OK, so it might not be the Galaxy Nexus, but HTC's Wildfire S for Virgin Mobile is a fairly decent smartphone (the carrier's second best option), and it is available off-contract for a fraction of the price of a more high-end handset. Under regular circumstances, the device comes in at just $199.99 without any sort of contract, but from now until Saturday (November 26th), it's half off - $99.99.

Again, that's less than a Benjamin for a fully off-contract Wildfire S, complete with:

Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
WiFi/3G radios
Bluetooth
A 3.2-inch touch screen
A microSD card slot
A 5.0MP camera
A battery good for 4 hours of talk time/12.5 days of standby

Admittedly, those specs don't quite make for a flagship handset, but then again, it costs under a seventh of the off-contract price of, say, the Galaxy Nexus.

[Deal Alert] Trent iCruiser 11,000mAh Portable Charger $52 At Amazon - A Great Gift For The Android Owner On The Go

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News

While we've taken a look at a couple of different portable chargers in the past, none have been as powerful as the 11,000mAh packing iCruiser from Trent. This thing is an absolute beast of a charger, sporting enough juice to refuel the typical smartphone over six times!

The iCruiser (ignore the iMoniker, please) is compatible with basically any device you can throw at it - everything from the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to nearly any Android phone, Nintendo DS, and Sony PSP, this thing can handle them all.

This device retails for around $80, so, at nearly $30 off, this is an excellent deal, not to mention a great gift for the juice hog of the family.

[Deal Alert] Buy A Lenovo IdeaPad K1 Tablet For $350, Get A Free Keyboard Dock

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, IdeaPad K1, News

Of the many Honeycomb tablets currently on the market, we don't often talk about the Lenovo IdeaPad K1. That doesn't mean it's a bad product -- Lenovo is one of the best names in the business, and If you want to pick up the Honeycomb-powered IdeaPad K1, this is the time to do it. For a limited time, if you grab the K1 and use the coupon code K1KEYFREE at checkout, you'll receive the keyboard dock for absolutely free. That's a pretty solid deal, especially when you can get the grey-framed K1 for a mere $350.

Just because it's affordable, doesn't mean it's lacking in spec, either:

10.1 1280x800 display
1Ghz Tegra 2 dual-core processor
1GB RAM
5MP Rear shooter, 2MP front
32GB built-in storage, microSD Card slot
miniHDMI out
