What, was one penny too much for you? Or perhaps like us, you live in New York and have to pay Amazon Wireless sales tax (but not for NewEgg) and you just like their deal better.

Whatever your reason, NewEgg, hands down one of our favorite online retailers, is offering select AT&T Windows Phone on contract for free. Zip. Nada. Nothing. You even have your choice of plans, including the low AT&T 450 minute version (sometimes place like WalMart try to force you up to the higher 900 minute plan).

Phones included in the deal (these are the actual links): the Samsung Focus (opens in new tab), LG Quantum (opens in new tab) and yes, the HTC Surround (opens in new tab). Sounds like a good deal, but like all things, read the fine print.

  • They're really getting desperate :(
  • All the phones have been available for FREE on various contracts from £25/Month since release in the UK (except the Dell VP, which has always been FREE from £30 & yet to be released)
  • Also... I doubt they're getting desperate.... I think it's more to do with the release of new handsets at MWC in early Feb.
  • Oh, in case anyone didn't know, benjitek is our resident troll. So please don't feed him ;-)
  • Great phone. I paid $50 with a contract last month at Costco and I thought that was a good deal. Zero is even better for a very good phone.
