I just heard on the news on my way home today that Best Buy will give out four free phones at all of its stores every Friday this October!  Best Buy will offer one free phone for each of the four carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon).  While the phone is not truly free as you have to sign a two year service contract with the carrier, it does beat paying $199 on top of signing a two year service contract.  My Verizon plan just expired last week so you can bet that I will be researching the different free phones Best Buy is offering in the upcoming weeks!
