so i went to bb to pre order and it was 50 bucks. the guy gives me a gift card and i ask him how much is the phone gonna be when i come to pick it up he tells me its gonna be 149.99 plus tax. i asked him to confirm and he says yeah its 149.99. my friend pre orders as well and get the same price. it was the bb in the west covina mall in California.

Do you have anything in writing? What does the receipt say?

they told me it would be $199 as well. However they did say they were speculating and basing this on EVO pricing. Which basically means they didn't look it up OR BB hasn't decided if they are going a little cheaper than sprint. We shall see on the 31st I suppose, but i will be ready to pay an additional $200 to my $50 deposit.

This should answer your question....the sales rep is probably an idiot: Here is proof.

My receipt doesn't say anything on the final price. Another of my friends went and was told the same price. I'm still expecting to pay the 250 final price but 3 of us where told 149.99. So lets hope that bb will give it to me for 149.99

Unfortunately for me it's for new customers (also $469.99 w/o contract which is the best price I've seen so far as well)

I think in the end the cheapest place to buy it will be:

http://walmart.letstalk.com/product/...htm?prId=37612

Its not there yet..but they have vibrant before free and had captivate before for free(now at 90$)

so if the trend continues my guess is it will be the cheapest :/

Good luck with that. I'm going to go with the sales rep being an idiot.

Ahhh, if only I could wait....

Did I mention that I am using a Q9C with a cracked screen?
