Free Smart Phone Friday at Best Buy Through December 31st–“Free Phone Fridays”

Just as if you re-negotiated with your carrier and upgraded or new contract for 2 years is required to get the “free” phone. As the article states the ones this week are the Droid operating system and keep checking back to see if Blackberry or Windows 7 units make the list. It doesn’t appear that an iPhone will make it according to the article but you never know so if you are looking for a free phone keep checking back each “free Friday” and see.

This way you can run all those thousands of healthcare applications that do “one thing” <grin>. That is a short opinion on my part as there is such a glut in this area and if you are going to use an application that does something, you want it to connect to a personal health record like Google Health or HealthVault and look out for the web based services that capture and market your data s they are out there.

Best Buy's latest promotion is a follow-up to a campaign it ran in October, called Free Phone Fridays. Each Friday during the month of October, Best Buy offered a selection of free phones, one from each major U.S. carrier. Best Buy is applying the same concept to smartphones, and will run the free smartphone deal until the end of December.

Shoppers will be able to find the free smartphones at all of Best Buy's big box retail locations, as well as all 157 of its dedicated Best Buy Mobile stores and online.

Best Buy said the first four free smartphones -- available starting today -- are the Droid Incredible by HTC (Verizon); Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (AT&T); LG Optimus S (Sprint); LG Optimus T (T-Mobile). All four of these handsets happen to be Android phones, so if you're looking for a free BlackBerry or Windows Phone 7 device, keep checking to see when the daily deal includes those platforms.
