Best Buy's Mobile retail unit announced that it is discounting two Android-powered Sprint smartphones, the HTC Hero and the Samsung Moment, to just $99.99 with a two-year contract and after instant rebates. Both phones previously cost $179.99 up front. The special offers will run through December.
The HTC Hero is a touch screen with the company's intuitive HTC Sense interface. The Samsung Moment is a horizontal QWERTY slider with a faster 800 MHz CPU and a vibrant AMOLED capacitive touch screen display.
Sprint's smartphone lineup is pretty strong lately, even though it lacks the star power of the iPhone 3GS and the Motorola Droid. In addition to the HTC Hero and Samsung Moment, Sprint also sells the Palm Pre, the HTC Touch Pro2, and the BlackBerry Tour 9630 all vying for supremacy--and often at discounted prices as well. The Samsung Instinct HD, meanwhile, remains the only feature phone to both record 720p HD video and output standalone 720p videos to an HDMI-equipped HDTV.
Google may have come up the perfect holiday gift for the executive in your life who already has everything--free Wi-Fi on Virgin American flights. The two companies have teamed up to make in-flight Wi-Fi free between the dates of November 10th and January 15th.
More information on the partnership is available over at the fittingly titled new site, FreeHolidayWiFi.com.
Is Amazon's $99 Palm Pre offer still too rich for your blood? How does $79 sounds? That's the new going rate over at Wal-Mart. The mega retailers have begun dropping the price on the handset (originally released with a $149 price tag) in anticipation of Palm's second sleek WebOS handset, the Palm Pixi. The deal, naturally, comes with the standard two-year contract with Sprint.

If the new Madden NFL 10 isn't your thing, then maybe you'll enjoy the first-person shooter Wolfenstein? I remember playing the original Wolfenstein 3D by id Software back in the early 1990s on my Windows PC, shooting at armed guards and looking for hidden treasures. It was the coolest PC game ever.
Now Activision is taking over by publishing a new version of Wolfenstein for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, released today. You're B.J. Blazkowicz, a member of the Office of Secret Actions (OSA) sent on a special mission to investigate evidence of the Nazi's possession of a new and mysterious power called The Veil. You'll use weapons like the Particle Cannon and the Flammenwerfer to battle the SS infantry, the Drache Troopers, Scribes, and more.
Sound like the game for you? Before you buy, we did a price comparison of each platform version from various retailers. Find out where you should buy Wolfenstein, after the jump.

So you want to buy a new cell phone, but your old one is still in good condition. Don't let it sit in the back of your desk drawer; your old phone can be traded in for cash!
Lawrence, Massachusetts-based NextWorth, a consumer electronics trade-in company and recycling service, this week announced its new trade-in service for all cell phones. All personal information is removed during trade-in, and phones that have no resale value are disposed of through EPA-certified recyclers.
To find the value of your old cell phone, simply look up the model at www.nextworth.com, answer a few questions, and instantly see the offered buy price. After the trade-in value is determined, you can opt to have a check sent to you via mail or paid via PayPal, or receive a Target or Amazon gift card in the trade-in value amount.
