AT&T Offers Free Zune To Windows Phone 7 Buyers

Tweet

Got to give it to the folks at AT&T and Microsoft, folks–they know how to sweeten a deal. If you pre-order a Windows Phone 7 with AT&T, they’ll throw in a free month of Zune Pass at no extra charge.

The odd part about this is that it’s only part of the pre-order package for those interested in laying hands on a Windows Phone 7. You already know about Microsoft’s massive billion dollar ad blitz to hawk the phone, but what’s coming out is a panoply of free offers aimed at driving demand to the late-coming competitor to the iPhone and Android.

Here’s the rundown on freebies going on with the release of the Windows Phone 7, because as it turns out, they’re different based on where you go. Based on some reports, AT&T’s not just giving away a free month of Zune Pass, as well as ilomilo, and a free month of U-verse Mobile besides.

Buying through Microsoft somewhat stunts AT&T’s offering, as they’ll offer you a whopping three months of free Zune Pass if you buy direct from them. So whether to go with Microsoft or AT&T somewhat depends on your usage patterns. If you’re big on music, go Microsoft. Variety buffs should go AT&T.

Oh, and in one final bizarre move, if you’re out in Austria, and you find yourself wanting an HTC Trophy phone, buying one will get you a free Xbox 360 complete with four gig storage. Yes, an entire game system, free of charge for buying a cell phone! It may be outlandish, but man, does it ever get attention!

There are a lot of deals out there if you’re looking to get hands on a Windows Phone 7, so shop with some care and don’t be afraid to negotiate, and chances are you’ll walk away with a whole lot more than you were expecting going in.
