Oprah helped shave $50 off the Kindle, and now Wal-Mart is getting in on the action by slashing its price on Google's G1 Android phone from T-Mobile by $30.
The phone went on sale last week for $179, but Wal-Mart will sell the device for $148.88, starting Wednesday, October 29, according to Reuters.
The move comes the same day as Wal-Mart re-launched its MP3 Music Downloads store. The retail giant will offer its top 25 songs for 74 cents per download; standard pricing will remain at 94 cents. Customers will also get one free download for every physical CD they purchase in a Wal-Mart store or online.
The MP3 store, which has a catalogue of 3 million songs, now supports the Mac OS, Linux, and Windows operating systems, and is accessible via Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer.

I personally prefer the Motorola Krave ( motorola.com/krave ) for my choice in cell phones. It sports a touch screen flip, which allows me access to the touch screen without having to flip the phone open. it boast a handful of features that work for me. Highly suggested

I would go to my local ghetto Walmart to save $30 just because Target is not carrying it.
Walmart buys their own G1 phones and receives a commission check from T-Mobile, so they don't care how much the sell it for as long as they make at least 3% and get customers to buy accessories for the phone while they are there.

Found it in a Wal-Mart in Austin Texas for $179.88. The rep said that they "bounced back and forth about the price and ended up with this price"

Bummer because I have been holding off for two weeks to buy this phone.
