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.

I’m just going to come out and say it: I love the Apple Watch Series 9. A couple of weeks ago, I returned to wearing it every day after an extended period of not doing so. And you know what? I was surprised by how much I’d missed it.

But one thing has bothered me this time around: There's a feature I haven't been using. Not because it’s bad, but because I tend to forget it's there.

OnePlus is still quite new to me, as I was a lifelong iPhone user until I joined Digital Trends. However, OnePlus has a pretty solid reputation in the mobile world, and now I can see why, as the OnePlus 12 is one of my favorite smartphones that I’ve used so far this year.
