You could always sell the phone you win from Sal and they buy the BB of your choice with the proceeds. The carriers are almost all pretty much throwing BBs at you now to get you in to data plans. :) Today I was offered a choice of an 8900 or 8520 for free if I switched to Tmo, plus they were gonna offset the VZW ETF fees I was gonna pay. ;) Of course I prefer Verizon's network, and I love my Storm. ;) BUT the offer was there. ;)
