Today, wireless carrier AT&T went official with its Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, which include smartphones, handsets and other promotional offerings.

At the same time, the company announced that there are several smartphone and other devices promotions that will run through the end of the year, to make the holiday season even sweeter for its users.

Some of the deals will be available exclusively at att.com, the carrier announced, adding that they will kick off on Friday, Nov. 23 at 12:01 a.m. ET, and that they will end on Monday, Nov. 26, while supplies last.

“Online shoppers will be able to score the best device deals of the season, whether at home or on the go, and take advantage of free shipping,” the carrier notes.

One Friday, November 23, refurbished phones will be available at the carrier starting as low as $.01. On Saturday, November 24 and Sunday, November 25, HTC Vivid will be down to just $.01, while Rugby Smart will cost only $.99.

On Monday, November 26, Pantech Renue, Motorola Atrix HD, HTC One X (gray only), Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and Nokia Lumia 900 will be available at only $.99.

At the same time, the carrier announced that other devices would also see price cuts until the end of the year, such as its new Windows Phone 8 devices with 4G LTE connectivity packed inside.

“With a two-year agreement, smartphone shoppers can choose from the Nokia Lumia 920, an AT&T exclusive, for $99.99; the value-packed Nokia Lumia 820 for $49.99; or the Windows Phone 8X by HTC—either the 16GB model for $199.99 or the AT&T exclusive 8GB model for $99.99,” AT&T notes.

“And for those seeking a great deal on tablets, customers can buy any Windows Phone and get $100 off the ASUS VivoTab RT, which is available exclusively at AT&T this season. A two-year data plan is required.”

For a limited time, those who purchase a Samsung Galaxy smartphone will receive up to $100 off a second connected Samsung device with the Windows 8-supported Samsung ATIV smart PC and the new Samsung Galaxy Camera included in the promotion.

Furthermore, AT&T announced that holiday shoppers would enjoy $100 off any tablet, regardless of the operating system it runs under or whether it has been purchased at an AT&T company-owned store or online at att.com or at partner retailers.
