Black Friday 2011: Amazon selling smartphones for a cent

Forget getting the most bang for your buck; think smaller. Amazon’s latest Black Friday deal has the online mega-retailer selling all non-iPhone smartphones for a cent...

Read the fine print. It has to be a first time activation, or adding a new line . . . who, in this world, doesn't already have a cell phone?

It's a gimmick to get people to visit Amazon and talk about them.

Basically free advertising.

I would guess the actual number of .01 cent phones actually sold is VERY small.

still a good deal for those who qualify. the samsung galaxy s2 is a pretty decent phone, for example.

Well, it's still useful for those who are switching carriers.

The upgrade fee looks to be a great deal too.
