I told her Bestbuy had the phone for $299 and I was not going to pay $500 for a new phone when i can go and get a brand new iPhone for $199. She then told me she would sell it to me for $199 and I didn't have to do any rebates or anything. I was not rude or anything and I thought it was a fair deal :)

Good luck to you guys...

actually it should be $252 after taxes and activation and shipping.

He rang me up for the 2 year price of 299.99 and I also had the sku code for the additional 20% off ALL smart phones which brought the final price too 254.39. Earlier that week I emailed ecare about the pricing for the 1 year upgrade users and they basically offered me a 100.00 instant credit to my sprint account once I purchased the new phone. So after I got home, I emailed them back and within a few hours the 100.00 credit was on my sprint account. That brings the phone down to 154.39. Last but not least, I sent off the 150.00 mail in rebate from the sprint site that is only eligible to new users and 2 year up grade users (which my receipt now shows 2 year upgrade for proof that it was 2 year upgraded). So once I get the money from that my total for the brand new phone comes to 4.39. :headbang:

So you screwed best buy.

Also, don't count on getting that rebate, it is worth a try though I guess. I should send it off, if I get it back my final price would be -$50 after tax/activation.

Rebate is dependent on a receipt from Sprint, not BB...

I don't understand why sprint gave you the $100 credit, unless they can't tell you didn't get the phone from them. That is a error in your favor...

im not sure how much I paid for it yet.. it sounds like 399.99 - 100 rebate..

have a friends & family plan through a friend who works at sprint, he placed the order for me yesterday through iconnect.

a sprint rep told me a week ago the emp cost was 299.99 - 100 rebate if you're eligible for your yearly upgrade, which I am.

ill call and get everything striaghtened out once I receive the phone but what do you think? what did you pay? 300ar seems excessive, especially considering the mogul was 188 on its release day last year.

399 + tax - 100 mail in rebate.

At least the mogul is still doing well on ebay... I'll be able to get some of that back.

The rebate from best buy is instant. The in store activation refers to Sprint Nextel Corporate Stores

I paid 240 + tax for mine at best buy two weeks ago. They also offered 20% if you were a reward zone member (which is free).

It was because prior to getting the phone at best buy, I emailed sprint ecare about how unsatisfied I was with my current touch and that I thought it was out outrageous for me to have to pay that kinda money for a 1 year upgrade. So they just replied back offering me a 100.00 dollars instant credit to my account once I purchased the phone. No proof other than it showing on my account online was nessecary.

I did well without putting the squeeze on anyone. I was able to get $200+ on my mogul (I paid $250 for it originally), I paid the best buy price for the TP......so it was a wash....
