It appears as if Verizon's upcoming LG Vortex is going to be offered free of charge, well, as long as you buy into a new 2-year contract that is. Ok, so it's not EXACTLY free. You still have to shell out $100 up front, but you'll receive a $100 mail-in rebate debit card in exchange for your cold hard cash (or plastic) up front.
This certainly isn't a shabby free device if you need to renew your contract, but don't want to spend anything extra. Having Android 2.2 pre-installed is also a pretty sweet element here. The one downside here is the Bingified default search engine, but if you can live with it, The LG Vortex can be yours for the whopping price of $0.
