Best Buy Offers $50 With All New Phones
Best Buy announced Tuesday that it will throw in a $50 Best Buy gift card with all purchases of mobile phones by the end of the year.
In order to earn eligibility for the offer, which the company calls "Phone Freedom," customers must register at this website between Feb. 5 and Feb. 12.
"We have spent the last five years building and improving the Best Buy Mobile experience, and we are so confident in our ability to deliver an outstanding shopping experience for our customers that we are giving away $50 Best Buy gift cards," Shawn Score, president of Best Buy Mobile, said in a statement.
Unlike typical weekly specials that help people who need a new phone that week, this offer works for any consumer who is planning to buy a smartphone any time in 2012."

BlackBerry 10 superphone image surfaces
It looks like an image of a BlackBerry 10 superphone has hit the web. The image, which was made available to the folks over at CrackBerry comes by way of a leaked presentation slide. The handset has been dubbed the BlackBerry “London” and appears to be a slim-looking handset made of metal. In fact, it sort of has a look that resembles the BlackBerry PlayBook. Otherwise, the only other bits that we can assume with any certainty is what you can see as the bullet points along with the picture. Of course, with points such as how this is the “ultimate communication device” we suspect that those are more a matter of opinion as opposed to fact. Either way, the BlackBerry London appears to be a nicely designed handset.
RIM also hinted that the BlackBerry 10 device would be dual-core and support 4G LTE. The company believes that this highly integrated dual-core LTE platform is needed for the phone to succeed, but that the selected processor best fit for the job will not be available until mid-2012.
