Get the Droid Incredible for free, with plan

It isn’t hard to get a phone for free from a wireless carrier, but it is hard to get a great phone for free, which is why this deal at Wirefly has caught our eye. If you activate a two-year Verizon Wireless contract through Wirefly, a free HTC Droid Incredible will be shipped to you for free. It normally retails for $199 with a plan. The offer is good for new and existing VZW customers. Unfortunately, there is a $35 activation fee, but no more than you’ll pay at an actual Verizon store.

The Droid Incredible is one of the top-rated Android smartphones by most publications. Our own Stewart Wolpin reviewed the device glowingly. “The Incredible is a superbly executed amalgamation of nearly every technology a cell phone buyer might want,” wrote Wolpin. “It’s light, it avoids overdosing on external controls, it’s got a big and beautiful AMOLED screen, it’s intuitive without any glaring annoyances, it’s got a good-to-great camera, a wicked quick Web browser, and Android’s most state-of-the-art OS.” Battery life and dull call quality were among his concerns about the device.

CNET actually purchased an Incredible through Wirefly and reports that the process works and the deal is legit. The Incredible launched on Verizon in April. We’ve written several articles about the device, including how it compares to the Motorola Droid and iPhone.

Learning a new language no longer requires you to make time for formal classes because there are now several language learning apps that you can tap. One of them is Babbel, and you can currently get a lifetime subscription to the online learning platform for only $150 from StackSocial. That's $449 off its original price of $599, but we don't know how much time is remaining before the offer expires. If you want to take advantage of the 74% discount, it's highly recommended that you complete the transaction immediately.

Why you should buy the Babbel lifetime subscription
A lifetime subscription to Babbel not only unlocks the possibility of learning one or two new languages, as the platform encompasses a total of 14 languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish, Turkish, Dutch, Polish, Indonesia, Norwegian, Danish, and Russian. You'll be learning your new language of choice with lessons that only take 10 minutes to 15 minutes each to complete, so unlike classes with a rigid schedule, you can learn at your own pace and at any time you're free through Babbel. The lessons cover real-life topics, and they use speech recognition technology to help you master pronunciation. You'll then test yourself through personalized review sessions that will help make sure that you retain all the information that's being taught to you.
