It’s not everyday that you can purchase a “free” iPhone 3GS. Why the quotation marks? Well, although it’s an instant rebate — no mail-in required — you’ve still gotta sign up and pay for a two-year plan. Yup, new lines, additional lines and qualifying upgrades are eligible, but you must sign on the dotted line with our good, good friends at AT&T.

The next quid pro quo is that this deal is only good on Friday, December 10.

Lastly, it’s worth pointing out that an iPhone 3GS does not in fact sell for $499 with contract — you can get one at WalMart (or most anywhere quality energy drinks are sold) for just $99. So, don’t get too excited about that…

What’s your take?
