True its an assumption, but a fairly safe one as Walmart, Best Buy, and possibly Radio Shack will be trying to one up each other especially on possibly the most consumer friendly Black Friday ever.
Worst case scenario you save 25% but I am sure you will see a lowering of the price into the holiday season with the most dramatic being that Friday after Thanksgiving – which at Walmart you will receive the difference within 30 days.

Ah, CookingCapsules.. Does it taste good?

No flash, no zoom, not in the right place for video calling. If it wasn't for shopsavvy I would be wondering why it wasn't on the front of the device (screen-side). - The GPS is what I'd expect from a 'phone, slow to lock on, but does get there eventually. - The screen is a fingerprint magnet and it doesn't come with a microfibre cleaning cloth :(. Oh, and cooking capsules looks pretty good :). Al. Muthu Ramadoss wrote: > Nice. Let us know what you feel about G1.
