This handset will be available from December 28 onwards, and will also be sold via selected Sam's Club stores as well. Do you think Walmart will be offering a much lower price to the masses since they do have the negotiating power considering their size in the industry? Well, we'll just have to wait until three days after Christmas to find out, but we do know that these handsets will have to be activated in-store.

Bloodbath on the highstreet: Woolworths shares hit £1

The decision to seek a buyer for the shops in mid-November reveals that the chain is dangerously close to bankruptcy. It makes 90% of its profits in the six weeks before Christmas and should be raking in cash at this time of the year, selling Christmas goods and toys. /ppMarks Spencer's sale is its first pre-Christmas clearance for four years. The MS boss Sir Stuart Rose has often criticised so-called "guerrilla sales" for antagonising shoppers who have paid the full price for the same merchandise./ppHowever, MS stores are opening at 8am today and many of the biggest outlets are staying open until midnight to give shoppers extra time to take advantage of lower prices./ppOther retailers feeling the squeeze include Sports Direct, owned by the billionaire Mike Ashley, and DSG, formerly known as Dixons./ppDSG's shares lost 31% of their value yesterday, closing at just 15p. At that level the business has a value of just pound;275m - equal to about 10 days' sales. The group is facing declining prices as well as fewer sales./ppRetailers, who employ one in 10 of the UK workforce, are facing a perfect storm of trading problems: consumers have stopped spending as fears escalate about house prices and unemployment and the cost of buying in goods from overseas manufacturers is rising as a result of the fall in sterling. At the same time credit insurers, who protect suppliers from non-payment of invoices in the event of a retailer going bust, have stopped providing cover to some store chains./ppOne City retail specialist said the outlook for high street operators was exceptionally tough: "Christmas 2008 has the feel of being the worst retailing Christmas for many years." Retail executives fear a series of financial crises and collapses in the coming weeks, especially with quarterly store rents due on December 24./ppThe grim news from the high street came as leading shares took a fresh tumble, losing nearly 5% of their value. The FTSE-100 closed down 202.87 pts at 4005.68. /ppAnalysts say clothing sales have gone into steep decline in the last two weeks and MS is not the first to slash prices at a time of the year when retailers hope to be selling at full price./ppDebenhams is running a 25%-off threeday sale and Bhs, which offered 20% off everything a week ago, now has up to 50% off selected lines. Sir Philip Green's Arcadia brands - which include Top Shop, Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge - are also said to be considering big price reductions./ppCity retail specialist Freddie George, at broker Seymour Pierce, said the MS one-day reduction was "a clear sign that sales are well behind budget in the lead up to Christmas". He is urging investors to sell MS shares. Yesterday they sank to 200p - their lowest level for more than eight years. Just 18 months ago they were changing hands at 740p./ppSports Direct's shares also hit a record low, losing 13% of their value to 32p. Investors who bought the shares when they came to the market less than two years ago have now seen 90% of their value wiped out./ppWoolworths hopes to sell its stores to Hilco, a US-based group that specialises in distressed companies. Hilco may put the business into administration so that it can offload its unprofitable stores. That is likely to mean large job cuts among Woolworths' 25,000 store workers. /ppWoolworths refused to comment but a source familiar with Hilco said: "You don't get into bed with a group like Hilco unless things are pretty tight". /ppHilco would pay only a nominal sum for Woolworths, but would also take over some of the retailer's near-pound;300m of debt. The store chain said a deal was not certain. Woolworths would retain its two other businesses, which distribute DVDs, books and music to other retailers./ppThe beleaguered retailer's shares collapsed to just over 2p, valuing the 99-year- old retail group - a cornerstone of shopping centres in towns and cities throughout the country - at just pound;34m./ppIn recent years the chain has been squeezed by the supermarkets, internet retailers and specialist high street stores. But it remains a huge operation, with sales of about pound;3bn a year. It still sells more sweets than any other retailer and is among the top five in entertainment sales, toys, children's clothing and homewares. Financially, however, it is on its knees. In the first six months of this year it crashed pound;100m into the red./ppThe new dip on the high street came as department store group John Lewis's sales were last week down a huge 14% on 2007 levels. Sales have also gone into reverse at its online operation for the first time since JohnLewis.com started in 2001./ppStore chains which have had at least some of their credit insurance removed include Woolworths, Debenhams, Currys, Focus, Poundstretcher, Ideal World and TJ Hughes. Without cover retailers have to pay for supplies upfront, in cash, rather than having the time to sell goods to customers before settling suppliers' bills. /ppYesterday a source close to Woolworths said the removal of its credit cover had been a key factor in its decision to seek a rescuer./ph2MPC mulled 2% cut/h2pA fresh cut in interest rates looks likely next month after the Bank of England revealed its monetary policy committee considered cutting the cost of borrowing by more than the 1.5 percentage points reduction it announced two weeks ago. In a clear signal that a new cut is on the cards when the committee meets in two weeks, the minutes of the last meeting showed members believed "a very significant reduction in bank rate - possibly in excess of two percentage points - might be required". /ppThe City now expects a 0.5 cut, to leave rates at 2.5% - within sight of the all-time low of 2%./ppThe Bank said it wanted to see the size of Alistair Darling's pre-budget report before assessing the scale of a further easing of monetary policy. The MPC said it also wanted to see whether October's coordinated efforts to shore up banking had increased the flow of credit. It is concerned that a bigger cut in the bank rate would scare the City./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/woolworths"Woolworths/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/marksspencer"Marks Spencer/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/dsginternational"DSG/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/sportsdirectinternational"Sports Direct International/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/retail"Retail industry/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/creditcrunch"Credit crunch/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/economics"Economics/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/recession"Recession/a/li/ul/divdiv class="guRssAdvert"a href="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/click.ng/richmedia=yessite=Businesscountry=(none)spacedesc=rsssystem=rsstransactionID=1227142268575112000542038307"img src="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/image.ng/richmedia=yessite=Businesscountry=(none)spacedesc=rsssystem=rsstransactionID=1227142268575112000542038307" border="0" //a/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a

Get rid of the mistaken idea you may have that personal shoppers are people employed by rich celebrities to dress them (those are called "stylists"). Most large department stores offer a shopping service. Simply call and ask for a personal shopper, provide measurements and a list of items you're looking for and make an appointment. They'll help you select items based on your budget and needs, and will offer an objective perspective on questions of fit and fashion.br/p blockquoteThe personal shoppers and clerks know the latest trends much better than I do, and they always seem to find things that flatter my body better than I find when I’m left to search a store on my own./blockquote pIt will save you the time of having to wander around the sales floor looking for what you want. And right now, it's a buyers market at retailers, so don't be shy about bringing your list to other clothing retailers and asking for help. Anybody have experiences with a personal shopper?

How will Giz readers stack up?/p pemCR/em found that, unsurprisingly, the number of folks hitting the stores is higher this year despite the economy's current position in the proverbial shitterâ€”26% versus 21% in 2007. And of that 26%, electronics remain the main target, although much more so this year than last, with 85% heading to the gadget aisles over 70% previously. What's hot with emCR/em's poll respondents? Gaming systems (those Xbox 360 price cuts seem like they're working out pretty well), which 46% of BF shoppers have their eye on first (compared to a much-lower 29% last year. iPods and other MP3 players come in a close second at 44% of folks planning on buying, up from 33%.script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" galleryPost('crblackfriday', 3, ''); /script/p pStill, I must throw in my two cents here: if you're able to wake up at the crack of dawn to stand in the cold waiting for some electronics deals with hundreds of other bleary-eyed souls, you're simply not doing Thanksgiving with the gluttony and excess it deserves. So save the shopping for later in the day at the computer, in your underpants, with a nice hot mug of the previous night's mulled wine helping you start the day (er, afternoon). That, friends, is a post-Thanksgiving Friday well-spent.

Hailed as the first multitouch "consumer" convertible tablet (a claim that's certainly open for debate), the 12.1-inch tx2 gets going at just $1,149.99, though HP's "recommended" configuration starts at $1,223.99. The baseline setup includes Vista Home Premium, a 2.1GHz AMD Turion X2, 3GB of DDR2 RAM, an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics set, 250GB of HDD space and a built-in webcam. As of now, the estimated build date shows December 8th, so we'd get that order in five minutes ago if you're looking to ensure a holiday delivery.pFiled under: a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/laptops/" rel="tag"Laptops/a/pp style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/19/hps-touchsmart-tx2z-multitouch-convertible-tablet-starts-at-1/"HP's TouchSmart tx2z multitouch convertible tablet starts at $1,149/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.engadget.com"Engadget/a on Wed, 19 Nov 2008 18:06:00 EST.
