Got one, thank you. Site was still only partially working (kept saying no service available when chosing a data plan). Premier and corp discount sites also didn't work. So I just called and ordered via phone.

Thanks for all the help. I won't have it in my hand till tomorrow at the earliest (or more likely Monday) but at least it's on it's way!

I'll post once it's in my anxious little hands.

One more thing I forgot. I finally looked at the pricing for my corporate discount and the "enterprise" price of the device is $299. The price for a personal account is $199 on line. When I called and ordered, it was $179! So much for cheapest on line. Also, the lady over the phone was able to look at a bunch of phone numbers so I can choose one that is easy to memorize by the kids.

I'm really tempted to get one now! But, I just got my 8800! Darn it...

Did you have to say anything special for them to give you the 179 price? I just ordered mine and paid 199. I just called my sales rep back and left him a voicemail saying I want it for 179...lol

Hi there,

No I said nothing special. She just said it ws $179 with the 2 year contract. But I called at 5am our time (yep, set the alarm!) to be one of the first to call in at 7am CST. Perhaps they realized their mistake later in the day??

Was that $179 the price you paid today or is that what you will have eventually paid after rebate?

I'll pick one up for $179 but only if that's the price I pay today, don't care about rebates after that.

It was $279 with a $100 rebate that I have to send in. It requires that you cut some UPC code off the box so I won't be able to send it in until I am certain the phone is right for me (and the 30 day trial is up).

My total today came to about $350 but I also ordered some accessories and there was tax.

I just checked the status and it says "in progress" so it has not shipped out today like the lady said it would. Disappointing. I wanted a tracking number so I can watch it make its way accross the country in real time! Ah well. Guess I should try to focus on some work instead. I am going to have to pay about $100/mo with the data plan, voice plan and some basic Text MSG (200 only in this package). Pretty pricy compared to my flip phone plan with VZW but I will be able to do so much more!

Don't do what I did, and just cut off one bar code. Just send them the entire side of the box that has ALL the codes on it!

Am still fighting with T-Mobile (and whoever processes their rebates) to give me my $50!

Wirefly.com is now offering the Curve for $186.99 with no rebates involved. I believe they also give free 2nd day FedEx shipping. Something to think about.
