Great deals slated for T-Mobile for Valentines Day sale, lots of free Devices

There is always some sort of sale running when a holiday hits here in the U.S. Be it Presidents Day sales, Labor Day Sales or even Valentines Day. Stores know it is just another excuse to have a sale and get your money. Funny thing is, it works every time. We know Sprint is doing one, so is Verizon and I am sure AT&T is doing something but I haven’t looked just yet. As for T-mobile, well they have a pretty big sale event planned. Instead of doing it on Valentines Day, which is next Tuesday, they are going to do a blowout sale on Saturday the 11th. Giving those people who have lives and jobs a chance to get their VDay gifts a bit early.

What can you pick up for yourself, or your loved one? A whole host of killer devices for the magical price of FREE. There is a contract requirement and many of them are only free after a mail in rebate. Still, it is a great deal in the long run. You can expect to find the Galaxy S II or Springboard as part of that line up along with Blackberry and Windows Phone. After all, we know that some of our significant others are still sucked into the dark side. The best news about the sale is that it is for everyone, not just new customers.

How many of you are planning a trip to your local T-Mobile store Saturday? What device you looking to pick up?
