Default Blackberry 8220 T-Mobile Price! - $349.99

Ouch $349.99.. I don't think the 49.99 rumors are true at all.

I cant post a link, search for upcoming phones on t-mobile.com and it shows the price..

I hope its an error.

ok i just checked the website but i dont see that price up, now if you are right, which might be a high possibility then my wallet is gonna take a severe beating. Hopefully current T-Mo customers can upgrade for the $49.99 price or at the very least a price that's cheaper than $200 lol For both our sakes and everyone else holding out for this phone I hope the price isnt going to just be straight up $349.99 That would be very sad

No upgrade price, apparently. Although, hopefully by the time it's released there will be one. I could get a Curve for less with the upgrade price. Although, this is the phone I want.

If that's really the retail price that's going to suck for me. I can't do phone upgrades since i'm on a T-Mo dealer account.

I'm sure it is the right price, and it makes sense because that's the price of the 8120 which is comparable.

yea, this sucks bad though.. I thought this was supposed to be marketed towards the budget consumer. <= 179.99. The phone will still sell but not nearly as much as it could. Dont get me wrong, the phone has good features but its not the best flip phone out there. NO 3g, kinda bulky. IDK...

I am sure there will be an upgrade price before it is released. However. That is how much I paid for my curve, with a partial upgrade.

There is no way this will cost more than the G1, which i already pre-ordered at $179. Boyfriend was waiting for this one to come out but not paying $350 for a phone for him.

I seriously doubt it would be that price. Tmobile IMO would be stupid to put it at that price point. Im going to assume just looking at the various Markets that blackberries are in that this will be priced 249.99-149.99 with a 100-50 mail in rebate, this is just speculation on my part, and if the iphone 3g is priced at 299, I know its not direct competition, but...........you get my point

I think the $349.99 is the RETAIL price, not the 2-year new activation price.
