So what makes this a great deal? Easy. Buy the two items, and sell off one depending on your needs. Need a new phone? Sell the airtime card and keep the phone. Need the airtime card but not the phone? Sell the phone and get the airtime card for $88 (+ tax) - the going rate of the 2610. Playing your cards right, you just might get the $100 airtime card for $60-70 bucks, a steal for prepaid minutes.

Apparently, this is turning into some kind of yearly special.

The Nokia 2610 is a no-frills, dual-band candy bar that works as a great beater phone. Don't expect a whole lot from this device, because it isn't exactly a feature powerhouse. You do get the "expense manager" and "power organizer" applications though. Yippee!
