Free is great, especially when what’s free is a $200 smartphone. So you’ll be pleased to know that The Weather Channel is giving away a BlackBerry Curve 8900 for every day of June. The best part is that you can play the game every day — twice, even. We’ll give some of the free details after the jump.

Do you want a new BlackBerry for the holidays? Sure you do. Problem is, those things can get expensive. Head to, say, Alltel’s BlackBerry site and you’ll see deals on phones that usually cross the $100 plateau. If that’s a bit steep for you, you might want to check out some of the deals we have going on. Not only can you find cheaper deals, you might even be able to find ones that will essentially pay you for the phone. Now how about that? Let’s take a look at some of the best BlackBerry deals this holiday season.

The holiday season is upon us, which means three things to many of us: Shopping, shopping, and shopping. Which means three things for your immediate future: lines, lines, and lines. Unless you’re one of those savvy shoppers who can find the best deals online. We’re giving you that opportunity now, with the Biggest, Baddest Mobile Heist yet at the BBGeeks Store. From November 25 through December 1, you can save on a ton of BlackBerry software.

It was barely four months ago that AT&T released the BlackBerry Pearl 8110. In fact, that came just a month after they launched the Pearl 8120. While the WiFi-equipped 8120 still carries a $199.99 price tag, the 8110 has been reduced. Previously offered for $149.99 with a two-year contract, they’ve changed the rebate, handing you back $50 from a $179.99 two-year contract price. So it falls to $129.99.

Of course, Verizon has been discounting its Pearl, with a $149.99 two-year contract price tag, by $70, leaving it with a pretty $79.99. The downside, of course, is that you have to pay to access the GPS, and even then can only use it through Verizon’s VZNavigator software.

For months, ever since we saw the first pictures of the CDMA Curve, we were pumped for its release. That was back in February, and we didn’t see the first one released, through Alltel, on May 1. So that’s nearly three months of hype. Now it’s been nearly three months since release, and you can get one free through Wirefly with Verizon Wireless service. [h/t BerryReview, via Robb]

We’ve got another software deal over at the BBGeeks Store. Ever heard of the Aerize Card Loader? How about Explorer? They both kind of do what the names imply. Card Loader allows users to install limitless applications to and from an SD card to their BlackBerry. It includes over the air download an multi-COD bundle support. Explorer is a file management and archiving application.

This deal only lasts until 11:59 p.m. PDT tomorrow (that’s Friday May 23). So head on over and get a deal on this software bundle.

Okay, so it’s not cool like the new CDMA Curve. But if you sign up for AT&T service, or extend your contract with them, you can get a free refurbished BlackBerry Curve 8310s. It’s got GPS, Bluetooth, a 2-megapixel camera, and access to AT&T Mobile Music. If you don’t mind refurb models, it’s tough to beat the deal. I’m fairly certain that we won’t see another version of the Curve, or at least anytime soon, so if you want to nab one, now is the time if you’re with AT&T. This promotion runs through this Thursday, April 24. This is an online promotion, so head to AT&T’s website if you’re interested.

We at BBGeeks are quite big fans of the guys and gals at CrackBerry. It’s a great community. And now they’re looking to grow. They’re running a Valentine’s Day contest where you can win a new BlackBerry (preferably red or pink, they say), or up to $300 in accessories from the ShopCrackBerry.com store. All you have to do is hit up their contests page and read the directions. Or you can just get a summary from us.
