Only a few days after Radio Shack unveiled the first iPhone sale in recorded history, Best Buy’s done one better — it’s offering up the 8GB iPhone 3GS “to qualified customers” without charging a cent for the handset. Yes, that’s a free iPhone, not counting the AT&T ball and chain, for the likely-far-less-than-one-day supplies will last, and so we imagine a fair number of you will start queuing up right now to get in on the action. Not a bad way to move surplus inventory and head off perennially rumored CDMA juggernauts at the pass — promise them the free iPhone, then lock them into those two-year contracts. It’s hard to resist!
