Black Friday’s turning into a Black Weekend for Moto and T-Mobile, it seems, with the just-released ZN5 already being discounted to a big, fat goose egg (after rebate, anyway) for the duration of the holiday weekend. That’s down from $99 at launch, and a dang good deal considering that you’re getting a WiFi-equipped phone with a 5-megapixel autofocus cam and xenon flash. We’re still not sure we can forgive the gray / purple scheme, but if we could be reminded of just how insanely little we shelled out for the phone every time we looked at it, we could probably let it slide.

There’s not a dry eye in the house at this time as the junior Hue goes out into the world, ready to pick up where its colorful parent left off. Like its predecessor, the Hue II has five interchangeable faceplates available — blue, gray, purple, green, and white — with blue and gray bundled in the box. It ups the Hue’s ante by moving from a 1.3- to a 2-megapixel cam and offers stereo Bluetooth, microSD expansion to 8GB, navigation, and a price that’s just $10 higher on contract — $39.99 when purchased online. It’s available at this time.

Goodness, that was quick! We’d expected LG’s Incite smartphone to pop up maybe by the end of the week if we were lucky, did all of our homework, and went to bed on time, but AT&T’s gone ahead and jumped the gun by throwing up the glossy touchphone for sale already. To recap, most of the rumored specs were spot on: wide QVGA, 3-megapixel cam, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, WiFi, and GPS round out a promising feature set, but you’re plan to pay to the tune of $299.99 on contract before a $100 mail-in rebate on a Visa gift card. What happened to good, old-fashioned cash?

[Thanks, Luis]
