I SENT IN THE PIC because its a NEW PHONE, its NEAR BLACK FRIDAY, the ECONOMY SUCKS, and with all the Bold, Storm and Javelin getting attention, I sent it in to let people know that "FREE" for a BRAND NEW MODEL phone that normally goes for $150 on contract is a STEAL. So if you wanna blame people.. BLAME ME! Jesus Fricken Christ!!!

Negative. Best Buy sent us that picture above? Negative. We'll always be completely open about advertisements here, and this no exception. There's never been an advertiser who has influenced our editorial. In fact, we've pissed quite a few of them off when they've ran campaigns and we have taken jabs at their companies.

For new activations, anyway. (Upgrades can only be matched by customer care/loyalty department.) As a bonus, the customer would still qualify for the $50 mail-in rebate, actually making $50 profit on the purchase. (they may tell you otherwise at random tmo store #4080, but as 5 year tmo vet I promise its true.)

So, hurry down to Best Buy today for your free flip. Oh, and also, only certain parts of the country got the ad with the Free T-Mobile, like the Seattle Areas (And obviously whatever region BG is in...) However, my area only has the Samsung Instinct where the T-Mobile phone is featured. Makes us here in Missouri sad.

The little 1 by the instant savings goes to the disclosure at the bottom of the page stating that "Instant Savings on phones require activation through Best Buy on new lines of service with 2-Year agreement on each line." Best Buy doesn't believe in rebates, it's all about straightforward pricing, as in the price you see is the price you get. :-) I’m an employee for Best Buy Mobile, and no, there is no rebate.

I think the point is the economy sucks enough that a brand new semi-awesome phone thats a BlackBerry FLIP is offered FREE, normally from $400... its kinda good news. Anyway, I see a lot of people picking this thing up on Black Friday (which I think is racist jk). Id pick up one but I just got my BB CURVE BABY!!!! Its not an ad for Best Buy, T-Mobile, and BGR you guys…

So what if he's posting ads? It's his blog, and plus, it's useful for the people who've been wanting a new phone, whether it be this one or another one. It's an awesome deal that you would pass around by word of mouth too. This word of mouth just happens to be visual. What is everyone’s deal about?? So what if he’s posting ads?
