Price opinion ??

[lefty11]

I do not want to get a crazy thread going , but would like to know the opinion of some . I am a TP2 user (and love it) but my son is still using an HTC Touch on Sprint (Vogue) and he wants a new phone.I figure Christmas is good timing . I saw the price online at Sprint forthe Hero at
179.99 after 200 instant savings and the slow 100 mail in rebate. Debating whether that is a
"get it now" type price or if people feel the price will drop or maybe even the Touch will be upgradeable through advance exchange maybe soon. Any thoughts would be appreciated but I am not trying to turn this into a who paid the lowest thread, but using it to gauge whether I should wait til December to buy one. thanks
