Agree!!! 249 is way to high for the 9930 at vzw. I think 199 maybe but it will most likely settle at 149 in a couple months...
Might have to get it and try it for 2 weeks but so far playing in store i not in love with the feel..maybe in a hard case it wont be so slippery...used to my old 9700 and 9780
Do you have some sort of a discount through an employer?
We have a corporate share plan. In some sort of weird way some phones cost more a month than others. I think the 2 phones that were $200 paid less than $60 per money but the $150 a month had the bulk of the contract under that phone. Something like $400 a month. We have 15 phones. All are dumb phones except for 4 (there was 5 earlier this year). We also have 1 or 2 wireless cards that we are stuck with I think.
It might have been a glitch in the way the person ordered the phone. The $200 phones were done on line and the $150 was over the phone because the online process was not letting me advance because of the way the account was showing for that 1 line for whatever reason.
