I think I'm going to purchase an 8320 on Tmobile, but any advice on where from?

The Tmobile store is 249.99, Amazon is 49.99, and a couple of others are free.

A couple of questions?

i) Do the Tmobile stores price match?
ii) Anyone had good/bad experiences with buying cheaply through an online third party? Any reccos?

I have heard of people walking into a TMo store with such an advertisement, asking and getting them to match. It is unlikley they will move that far, though.

Don't buy from TigerDirect, as I understand all their BBs are reconditioned/remanufactured.

I have seen a great many happy users from buying from Amazon. Great price there.

Those other places have lots of conditions, so make sure to read all the fine print. I had a friend had to pay 350 to basically change plans because he went to an authorized dealer. I suggest just going through a corp store..

the ones that have it for free are Ushopwirless.com and 1shopwireless.com - anyone have any experience with either of them?

I can't seem to find the smallprint on their sites

I didn't want to renew my contract, so I bought one off craig's list. It was was a few months old but looks/works like new. You can get a good deal if you shop around a bit (different cities).

Go to walmart.com and you can get it for FREE after rebates and only pay $100 up front!!! That is where I bought my tmobile 8320 from.

That's great advice on Walmart.com - apparently also available in store (though that would mean I have to go into a WalMart, ugh!)

[hitchens97]

So Walmart's cell phone site is just letstalk.com reskinned - anyone know if their stores have the same deal?

[fukiname]

What about letstalk.com? Free Curve with rebates -- anyone have comments on them?

[fukiname]

oops -- just saw your post hitchens!

[layedaway]

walmart dont sell blackberrys. you can order them instore. they dont have any rebates. it only takes a day for the store to get it in. thats the best way. you can get a really good deal on one. i work there so i know.

[hitchens97]

Lay - does that mean its free at the store?

I ordered my bb 8320 from 1shopwireless.com and it came with everything, and ive had no problems with it , i paid $49.99 up front and i got a $50 mail in rebate so ibasically got the phone free!, if you have any questions you can email me at [email protected]

[hitchens97]

Sounds like there's a lot cheaper if you don't go with their store. Now I need to see if I can get them to price match.

[hitchens97]

Worked well - $0 after rebate - plus free bluetooth headset.

TMobile stores didn't want to compete. Crazy channel conflict if you ask me, but if they don't want my business directly, it's their loss.

BTW - I am loving the phone!
