Even at $130 the OV is a great phone.

I purchased the Triumph several months ago. It worked well in the beginning, but then there were many issues. VM sent me a new phone and so far, so good. However, I am worried that same thing will happen to this phone.
I purchased the Wildfire S, Optimus Slider and the Optimus V during the sales/black Friday deals. I plan on testing them out and figuring out which works best for me. While I do miss the 4" screen on the MT, I do not want the same issues happening again. There are too many negative reviews of that phone. I have activated my account on the Slider and so far I am very happy. The screen size is terrible, but I mainly use the phone for calls, emails and social networking. I can get by with the smaller screen.
Has anyone come across reviews discussing the Slider and the V? I realize they're essentially the same, with the slider having the physical keyboard. It's heavier than the V, but it's a nice feature.
The V has a reputation as being a great phone. The Slider is new and hopefully follows suite with the V.

There were 3 OVs hanging on the locked peg when I walked into Target at midnite & of course there were zero by the time I used up 90 minutes of my precious life awaiting my turn at the counter. I thought perhaps more were in the stock room...
But the CSR appeared shell-shocked, was surrounded by a huge pile of crap that people in line in front of me "changed their mind" on, & when I looked at the mob in line behind me- I decided to big smile & exit the store.
Returned to the same Target today & sure enough, 3 more OVs on the locked peg, 1 of which became mine at 1pm, no mob scene & no waiting.

i was surprised my target had the ov in stock at 8 am because i assumed the 50 ov would sell out fast. I went to target at 12 midnight but could not find parking and saw a long line so went home. I went back at 8 am because online it said the store had them in stock. At 8 am there was no line and they were on a peg that was not locked. I guess the trick to get what you want is to not show up early.

Yeah I did the same last year when Bestbuy had the Rumor Touch for $70. I was sure they would go fast. I went in there at like 10 am and they had a bin full of them. I got 3 of them for my kids. Now they want android....lol

I wonder how many Target pumped out @ $50. Some stores had over 100 of them, while another store only had 4. It sure did kill the resale price on craigslist/eBay. In completed items, used Optimus V phones would normally sell for $70-$90 and new ones for $110-$120. Now some used are going for $35-$50 and new is around $70-$85. I wonder where it will end up in a few weeks.

I would actually rather buy an OV with the old screen (Novatek) than these newer ones with the Hitachi screens. The colors look washed out on the newer screens. Oh well, can't complain for $50

it doesn't change anything on Craigslist. black Friday is one time a year so if anyone complains about a price over $50 tell them to go back in time and buy one for $50.i got one on Craigslist right now and im not selling it any cheaper because of black Friday

You can still get them for $50, no? Was just at Target they still had a dozen. It also shows $49.99 on their website still.
So when you pump a million phones in the market at such a huge reduction in price there will be an impact on resale value.
It will come back but it may not come back 100%. Just wait a week or two and see.

I was just at my local Target and, they were back up to $129. Bummer.
