I haven't yet but I am considering doing so for the 9700 since my upgrade isn't until March, but we shall see. Maybe I can sweet talk a rep or something; at&t seems more firm about stuff like that than VZW is.
Yes. Actually for like the past 2-3 years, I had to buy my new phones at retail because I had a dealer line through T-Mobile, and since there's no contract involved, you get a HUGE discount on the plans and options, but whenever you wanted a new phone, you had to buy it at full retail price.
So I cancelled it and got back on a regular plan. I was tired of spending $2,000+ on phones a year.
Bought a Storm2 at GBP384.99. Unlocked and no contract from Vodafone. Using the phone out of the country and don't want to be tied due to relocating. No regrets cos it costs nearly as much in Asia with a contract. And Storm2 is nowhere to be seen in Asia yet!
actually i just purchased my 9700 from t-mobile for full price seeing as how im on there even more plus plan and you have to pay full price for phones on that plan. i had the 8900 before and i also payed full price. so you wont look bad if your buying any blackberry at full price. besides its a blackberry how could you possibly look bad buying one of these god sent devices. you pay for quality and that's exactly what you get.

I did as well, but when I switched to the Even More unlimited plan, I got the mytouch 3G, since I'd thought I give Android a try. I really like it, but I miss my Blackberry, so I might get the 9700 come April or May.
I bought only one phone at full price, my current Bold 9000. Best deal I ever got. I love this phone. All those cheap or free devices could hold a candle to this one.

I payed $250.00 for my Tour on eBay, and I had 13 months left in my contract, so waiting for my upgrade wasn't an option I wanted to consider. I called it a deal.
