Standard newbie questions. Please help out ;)

I kinda thought so Edge, since it's my first, it can't be that bad.

Thanks for the info TMB, online documentation is often poor, and most sites equate the VZ with the Mogul. But if VZ is coming out with the 6800 soon, maybe I'll wait and see, but they don't have it announced on the site yet like they have the Voyager, so I don't know. Any "official" launch date? And would it be wise to grab it right away? At least Sprint's Mogul has been out long enough to get some problems reported and worked on, maybe it's still better to get that one, rather than be VZ's beta tester on a new launch?
This page says it was supposed to come out on the 16th, and references a dude on ppcgeeks as the source!

Since that didn't happen, I have no reason to think a 28th launch is any better.

Edge, what do you mean by "take advantage of retention and save some $$$ on a mogul" ?
The only deal I can get it seems is $150 instant savings and then a mail-in $100 rebate. Is there some other way to get additional discounts? So I can get the phone for $300. Think I can do better?

Keep the sage advice coming, I'll check out that website TMB.
