Wirefly Reports Strong Cyber Monday and Releases Annual Holiday Wireless Gift Guide

BlackBerry Curve

WASHINGTON, D.C. – November 28, 2007 – Wirefly (www.wirefly.com), the online leader in one-stop comparison shopping for cell phones and wireless service plans, today released its annual wireless gift guide for the 2007 holiday shopping season. The list includes updated versions of best-selling models like the BlackBerry Pearl, Motorola RAZR and LG Chocolate phones, as well as an array of new devices that feature megapixel digital cameras, video and music capabilities.

Wirefly's own active consumer research indicated a significant spike in online shopping on Cyber Monday. In particular, smartphone sales surged relative to other cell phone models with orders for the BlackBerry Curve and BlackBerry Pearl more than doubling the previous week's demand. According to a Wirefly survey, nearly 70% of consumers were more likely to follow-through with an online order thanks to the exclusive holiday deals. With nearly half of Wirefly's customers saying that they shop at least a couple of times a month online, and Cyber Monday smartphone sales on Wirefly up 190% over the past year, the 2007 holiday shopping season should set a record for the busiest online shopping season in years.

"With millions more customers going online this year for their holiday shopping needs, we are excited to offer them our annual holiday gift guide for the hottest cell phones and wireless devices this season."
