Here are our three best free Windows Phone and Android OS smartphone picks for the second week of June 2011. Some deals listed require a new contract with the wireless carrier, while other prices are for upgrades to existing carrier accounts.
Motorola Droid 2 Global (Verizon Wireless)
This Android 2.2 phone is available free with a new two-year contract from LetsTalk.com; upgrades are $49 to those eligible to upgrade with a contract renewal. But if you’re looking to upgrade, Amazon Wireless also has this Android smartphone for about $50 less, $0.01.
HTC EVO Shift 4G (Sprint Wireless)
Okay, so this one isn’t exactly free, but at just $0.01 it’s pretty damn close; and this $149 Android phone is worth the exception. Plus, the HTC EVO Shift 4G is the only ‘4G’ smartphone that makes this week’s list. New accounts only.
This deal is available at Amazon.com.
HTC Trophy Windows Phone (Verizon Wireless)
Verizon’s first Windows Phone 7 smartphone is also available free from LetsTalk.com with a new contract. Like the Droid 2 Global, LetsTalk upgrades for existing customers are $49.
This is a $149 savings over the Verizon direct price for new accounts.
