Go ahead and file this one under Hot Deal of the Day, the At&t Tilt Smartphone is currently only $299 over at Newegg.com.  The only catch is that the item is open box, but at this price tag without a contract extension it beats any deal you can find on eBay for a similar device.  Keep in mind that buying off eBay rarely guarantees a mint condition device and from our past experiences with Newegg open box deals, the quality is excellent.  To sweeten the deal a little more, Newegg is offering $1.00 shipping with delivery available in the continental United States (sorry Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico).  If you have been holding out to take the leap into smartphone bliss, the At&t Tilt is as good of a reason as any to make the plunge.

In case you were wondering, here is the open-box return policy at Newegg:

Open-Box Items

        * Return for refund within: 15 days

        * Return for replacement within: non-replaceable

    This is our Detailed Open Box Item Return Policy. Newegg.com often sells items that are listed as “open-box.” Because these items are sold at greatly reduced prices, they bear this limited 15-day refund-only return policy through Newegg.com. Such items can only be returned within 15 days of the applicable invoice date. Newegg.com cannot provide replacement service for these items, as their stock is limited. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of these items is with the buyer. These items have been tested for functionality, but may have superficial physical defects including (but not limited to) scratches, dings or dents. Should these items prove defective following their purchase, the buyer (not the manufacturer, distributor, or Newegg.com) assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing or repairs, unless otherwise required by law. These items are not covered by any 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

    If you purchase an Open-Box product you will receive an OEM BAREBONE item, meaning you will only receive the item itself. Accessories are NOT INCLUDED with Open-Box products, even if the missing accessory is required for the item to function properly.
