anyone else get screwed on their tp pricing?

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.
