For all those users currently saving up to buy a new iPhone, the free iPhone 3GS via Best Buy may seem like a good option. Yes that’s right, according to a post made on the official Best Buy forum, the handset is up for grabs on a limited time-period of 24 hours. With that being said, the only knot in this offering is that users will have to sign up for a two-year contract with AT&T or upgrade their existing one.
The one-day offer sports a brand new 8GB iPhone 3GS smartphone latched onto the AT&T network and a specification list including features like 3.15MP camera, A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, Wi-Fi b/g, high speed 3G (HSDPA) up to 7.2Mbps and a TFT capacitive touchscreen running on iOS 4. Additionally, the device comes powered by a 600 MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor and the PowerVR SGX535 GPU.
A post on the official Best Buy forum stated, “On Monday, Aug. 22, customers will be able to get a free AT&T 8GB iPhone 3GS at Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile specialty stores. This exclusive one-day offer is available in-store only on Monday, Aug. 22 either as new or upgrade with two-year activation. While supplies last.â€
By making the free iPhone 3GS available through this exclusive offer, it seems clear that the company is trying to rid-out the remaining smartphones in their inventory. Also, with the iPhone 5 almost here, it appears that the company has made a wise decision on outing the remaining products.
The Apple iPhone 3GS can be acquired for free from Best Buy with a two-year contract on the AT&A network.
