It’s a Deal: Free Phones on Fridays at Best Buy

By Dennis Wong | October 1, 2010 | +

Every Friday in October (starting today), Best Buy hosts Free Phones Fridays, when the retailer offers four different phones at no upfront cost. The catch? You have to sign a two-year service contract, but that’s a fairly typical requirement when you get a subsidized phone.

On Friday, October 1, the four free phones are:

Samsung Fascinate, described here:

This new Android phone features a brilliant display, a blazing-fast processor, a 5.0MP camera with HD video capture and more.

BlackBerry Curve 8530:

Chat with friends, e-mail colleagues, share pictures, and listen to your favorite music. Features Wi-Fi technology, a 2.0MP camera and more.

HTC Aria:

Stylish phone boasts HTC Sense user interface, the Android 2.1 OS, 5.0MP camera, built-in GPS and tons of apps to choose from.

Samsung Gravity 3:

Sleek slider phone features a full QWERTY keyboard and provides high-speed access to the Web, multiple messaging options and pre-loaded apps.

Used car prices spiked last summer as gas prices soared, and then spiked again earlier this year as the national average neared $4 a gallon. Now that gas prices are retreating, relief is also in sight for consumers in the market for used cars.

    What’s the Point of High-Powered ‘Green’ Sports Cars?
