    If I'm not up for NE2 or 1 year early upgrade...is there any possible chance that I can get one of these phones without paying the ridiculously high retail price? I do get the corporate discount on my account because my wife is a nurse at a large hospital and that's one of the perks.

    how much could I sell a 3 month old curve for out on the BLACK market? That would definitely supplement my $489 Tour right?

    I still have 5 months left on my contract with Bell. I just lowered my old phones plan to 17 bucks (10 plan + 7 service fee) a month and got the guy to put me on a share plan. That way my old number could be transferred to my new phone. Now I have both phones running with 2 different numbers (old number on bb, new number on old phone) but they are on the same share plan (apparently). In the end I get a Blackberry Tour for 200 bucks, a revised existing plan to accomodate the bb (~90 bucks, +7 for insurance) and I pay 17 bucks a month for the next 5 months for my old phone instead of having to pay 100 bucks to cancel my old phone and start another contract to get the bb. I explained that horribly.

    ** One thing to note was that I was coming to the end of my 3 year contract.
