Black Friday 2012 is almost upon us and thousands of shoppers will be racing to get their hands on the top technology and gadget deals. One of the most exciting deals is the Samsung Galaxy S3 on Sprint which is one sale for $150 off.

Sprint has attempted to stay ahead of the competition this Thanksgiving by driving its prices down for a quick fire sale on Black Friday.

"Beat the Black Friday crowds! On Nov. 22, Thanksgiving Day, customers can visit www.sprint.com/holiday or call 1-800-Sprint1 to purchase Samsung Galaxy S3 for only $49.99 – a $150 savings with a new line or eligible upgrade and two-year service agreement," Sprint has announced in a press release.

In addition the Samsung Galaxy S2 can be purchased on contract for just $49. The Galaxy Nexus and Victory 4G have also been made available on Sprint for free with a $50 main-in rebate.

Sprint has announced that it is offering these deals from Black Friday through Sunday Nov. 25 at all of its stores as well as on its online store.

Sprint has asked that all those purchasing one of these huge savings deals activates their phone on the Sprint network with an Everything Plan, which starts at $79.99 per month. That deal gives Sprint's famous truly unlimited data, text and calling to any mobile, no throttling, no metering and no overages.

The special Black Friday deal will also allow Sprint customers to purchase 3G/4G plans for their tablets; $15 per month for 1GB or $10 per month for 100MB of data per month.

In other deals for the Samsung Galaxy S3, new customers to Sprint will be able to purchase the handset for $50 from Radio Shack, which will come with a free $50 Google Play Gift Card to purchase apps and games from the Google Play Store. For Verizon and AT&T users, they also will be able to purchase the device from Radio Shack under the same deal, but will have to foot $100 initially for the smartphone.
