Unofficial Sprint Bold 9930 Discussion Thread
- i was at my local best buy in pittsburgh and i was looking the 9930 and 9850 up with my friend who works there and there wasnt 1 store around that was getting the 9930 in stock. so disappointed but a lot had the 9850 in. i didnt see what the contract pricing was but outright was ridiculous. Get ready.... 9930 - $649.99 and 9850 - $599.99 however, they do price matchladodgersfan88 likes this.08-20-11 10:29 PMLike 1

I called to see if they would have them in stock today, and they told me there were on the display already. When I asked if I would be able to purchase the phone today, the rep said "sure".08-21-11 03:39 AMLike 0
- Has anyone verified that the $199 price is the same price in the store? I noticed that walmart.com is very careful to state the $50 off is a web only discount. Same with sprint.com $50 off web offer. I would have bought it locally but our stores each got 1 phone. Not even a demo unit yet. I guess Sunday sucks for a roll out for good reason.08-21-11 04:03 AMLike 0
- Has anyone else noticed it takes the sprint website about 24 hours to notice that you already used your upgrade credit? We got 2 phones last year this way on my line and we are trying it again this year. Just make sure you place both orders the same day and I would avoid doing it in store. Last year I placed one order online and another on the phone. Both showed up both had the $150 off and only one line was upgraded. Which is why I have a 2 year upgrade left this year.08-21-11 04:10 AMLike 0

I'm sure if you tell them you're on the way there, and they have at least 5 in stock, they'll hold you one. The Sprint store I visted yesterday said they only have two in stock for sale today, so they might sell them within' an hour of opening. I'm getting mine at The BlackBerry Store today at 10am sharp (they're opening early today) already put a $50.00 deposit on it Thursday, so I know I'll definatly be walking out with it already activated and ready to go.08-21-11 07:56 AMLike 0

I'm really annoyed that a lot of reviewers could not get over the 250 dollar price and called it "overpriced" and "expensive" knowing that those prices usually come down right away.
I think 200 bucks is totally reasonable.08-21-11 08:56 AMLike 0 - Umm, It was overpriced at $250 on a 2-year contract. Sure it's a great phone, but when you look at the specs and the competition it is not worth $250.08-21-11 10:26 AMLike 0

- The Sprint store is NOT going to honor the Web Discount, that's why its called "WEB Discount"....The Store is going to tell you to order it online if you want the additional savings...

- I was at the Sprint store just now and it's listed at $249, but the bigger deal I think is that they're waiving the $10 premium fee. I don't know if that's being applied when you order online though.

- On the bottom of the yellow price sheet it states "Special offer: Waive $10 Premium Data Add-on Charge". I specifically mentioned it and now they're currently running around making sure of it.

- Sorry to leave you hanging.
So they found the same price slips in the back without the special offer, plus the rep did talk to one of the other sales guys and I over heard them talking about it's not in the playbook (I'm assuming Sprint's system). So, no waiver for me. Still got the phone and OMG I love it.
