Great news for those who had eyes set on Nokia Lumia 830. AT&T is now giving away a free Fitbit Flex activity tracker when you buy a Nokia Lumia 830 on contract on Microsoft store. It is also possible to buy it off contract for $ 399 and you will still get the $ 90 Fitbit Flex for free. Amazon too is offering Fitbit Flex for free.
However we feel that it would have made more sense to offer the Nokia Lumia 830 for free under contract and a free Microsoft Band or may be for $ 99 instead of $ 199.
