I finally broke down and got one. I've been waiting to finish my christmas shopping.

I'm curious if I got a good deal or not.

After tax with free 2nd day shipping from verizon I got it for 162$.

How'd I do? The guy in the verizon store in the mall tried getting me for nearly 400$ for it, so Right there in the store, I called up verizon, talked to a rep, and about 5 minutes later I had one on its way for 240$ cheaper.

You did good

[BBrian]

What plan did they require you to have to get that price?
How long is the contract?
How much is the plan they required?

It all adds up.

The plan I got is 450 minutes(everyone I know has verizon). As it is, at the end of each month, with my current 450 minute plan, I usually have 300-400 minutes left. One month I had 438 left.

The plan also comes with unlimited text messages and e-mail. Total each month is going to be 62$. I'm not sure what added fees will put on there, but I'm guess-timating 75$ total. I get a discount from my work which really helps.

Good job. That's pretty decent.

The plan you described sounds like the $99. You receive 37% off your monthly bill? That is one heck of a discount!

Do you have that plan?

I'm curious of if there is anything else I get with that plan.



Another question. Do I have to pay for BB Maps? I know it's not as advanced as actual GPS, but thats fine with me.

No I don't. I have a family share with the add on BB Email feature for $29.99

You can actually go on the $59.99(450 min unlim text) + 29.99 (Email and Web) for $89.98 a month and still get your employer discount.

Not sure about BB maps as I don't use it. I think it's free.

I paid $300, after rebate it was $200. So you did well at $160.


sprint > verizon

$30 = unlimited text, email, internet, telenav, instant messenger

I used Sprint a few years ago. I had absolutely no problems with it. I only switched to verizon because the fact that all of my friends, family, and coworkers use it so I can get the cheapest plan and never run out of minutes. With sprint, I was using 900 minutes a month.

hahahah Sprint > Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc..

My only grudge against sprint is that when I was with them I got reception everywhere except MY OWN HOUSE!

[scraggles]

I never had that problem with sprint. On a trip from NY to Iowa, I only lost reception for about 5 minutes in Illinois
