T-Mobile holiday deals: $50 off handsets — gift phones, pay with installments
How about some holiday discounts? Yes, please. T-Mobile is offering some Black Friday weekend deals for new and existing customers. What are these magical deals you ask? Well, the Motorola CLIQ will set you back $149, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 will be priced at $149, and the Samsung Highlight will cost $49 — a $50 savings on all three handsets, two-year agreement required of course. The deals don’t stop there however; everyone, at least we hope, has someone in their lives who they care about dearly, someone they adore so much, that they would be willing to pay full retail price for cell phone to give that person as a gift for the holidays. Brings a tear to your eye doesn’t it? Well, if the thought of that special person doesn’t make you all misty then the idea of spending $300+ for a cell phone might just be enough to do it — and T-Mobile thinks it has a solution. Those of you who are on a T-Mobile Even More plan will now be allowed to purchase any phone at full retail price, spread the payments out into monthly installments, and gift that phone to a friend. Not a bad idea. Now, the number of people who can take advantage of this deal is obviously limited, as you will have to: have T-Mobile service, be on an Even More plan, have a friend you like enough to drop $300+ on, and have that lucky person also be on (or ready to switch to) T-Mobile. Nice job T-Mo, we appreciate the sentiment. ‘Tis the holiday season after all, and it is that thought that counts. No?
Is it 149 for the Cliq with an upgrade only?
yes
Excellent news! I was planning on upgrading to a 9700 this weekend! An extra $50 is even better.
Thanks for the tip. I was in my local T-M official store this afternoon looking at upgrading my Curve to a 9700. Nobody mentioned anything about the $50 price reduction. Guess it was embargoed.
Glad you are on top of it as always! Great work BGR!
‘Even More’
should be renamed…
‘Back to the drawing board..’

Quick question: If I’m on a Blackberry plan for $59/mo and I want the 9700, do I have to upgrade to the Even More or Even More Plus plans–or can I extend my current plan?
You can extend your current contract, but I would suggest looking at the new plans in my case I save $50 per month. Makes it real easy to get new phones when you save so much even when you are paying full price for the phones.

what?
I wish I wasn’t so broke.
So is it $50 off just those three phones? Because I was thinking of buying a Sidekick for myself for Christmas and $50 off would be nice

I recently upgraded to a 9700 and I was able to keep my current plan so you probably can

T-Mo has great service in Southern California. You should move here. And the weather is great too.
