I dunno.....don't the Canadian carriers have three year contracts? Did you get the 9700, 9780, or 9800 there? What did they sell for off contract? You can probably get a ball park from those phones.
I would say more like $479-549 range. There is nothing in the current BlackBerry that should push it past the low to mid $500 range. The DX2 and D3 are in the low $500's retail and the current crop of BB's are in the higher $400's pushing $500. This would keep the price point consistent with current BB's which is where it should be. Plus I doubt Verizon is going to offer a big microSD card and their is no FFC so really that cuts at least $50-75+.
