Walmart early Black Friday $100 Gift Card "Cashback" Smartphone Deals are available now

Nov 17 2010, 6:00am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

Walmart launched a new early Black Friday sale starting Wednesday, Nov. 17th. Until Nov. 25th, Walmart Stores and Walmart.com sell contract smartphones with a $100 Walmart Gift Card. You can between nearly 40 smartphones from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon.

It sounds like what I predicted has happened: You get cash back (or gift cards) with your Android, BlackBerry or Windows smartphone purchase this Black Friday season. And indeed on some of the 40 smartphones this is really true. The new Verizon LG Vortex Android 2.2 phone for instance sells for $0.97 and with the free $100 gift card you end up with a new phone and $99.03 that you can spend at Walmart.

Not all Walmart phone deals are that good. The BlackBerry Torch sells for $98.88. With the gift card you get $1.12. On Amazon the BlackBerry Torch sells for $0.01. I would rather take the Penny deal than have to deal with a gift card.

Below you will find a list of the Walmart phone deals that really give you cashback as a Walmart Gift card and are beating other stores.

Walmart cashback (as gift card) Deals:

AT&T HTC Aria – $48.88 / $51.12 gift card value
AT&T BlackBerry Curve 3G - $28.88 / $71.12 gift card value
Sprint LG Optimus S – $0.97 / $99.03 gift card value
Sprint BlackBerry Curve 3G – $28.88 / $71.12 gift card value
Sprint Samsung Intercept – $38.88 / $61.12 gift card value
T-Mobile BlackBerry 9780 – $78.88 / $21.12 gift card value
T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve – $28.88 / $71.12 gift card value
Verizon LG Vortex – $0.97 / $99.03 gift card value
