How can I get this phone the cheapest way possible!?

[TheLovatScout]

Unlike the lucky boys and girls who are due for a $150 upgrade or are simply renewing their contract and get to buy it at $199, I am one of the unfortunate souls who have to go the full retail price route. Not good.

I plan on buying at Best buy for a few reasons. Well, actually only one, lol. That being that I can trade in my Touch Pro 2 for about $120-$150. Then I COULD use my girlfriends line since she has a $75 instant savings on her Sprint account. Other than that, I've read about little $10 off coupons at Radioshack. I know buying from Sprint isn't the way to go if I'm looking for cheap.

So at full retail from Best Buy, i'm looking at:

..........$449 (Full Retail)
.........-$75 (Gf's upgrade)
.........-$130 (TP2 Trade-In)
.........=$244 (Cheapest Price?)


So, what do you guys think? Are there any other little secret discounts out there?

Also, on a side question: IF and when I use my girlfriends $75 instant savings, will they allow her to "buy it for me" or will I have to do some weird thing were I wait 30 days to activate it?
