    I'm sure everyone (well everyone with a business account) will be VERY happy to know that it's available as of TODAY!!! Call T-mobile's Corporate care 1800-375-1126 tell the agent to look under upgrades if they can't find it right away. I just ordered mine... finally, arriving with expedited shipping 1/22/09. Good luck.

    Okay, answered my own question.......$500 no contract, $200 with a 2yr upgrade ($200 + $100 mail in rebate). And they were willing to upgrade me today! Trying to straighten out my account and I am hopefully ordering today!

    Well, just called, the guy claims its not available till Feb 11th. He confirmed he was in business care. Called the number posted above. My account is not corporate liability but I have a corporate discount so I was going to try. Can anyone confirm what kind of account is required? If I cant order till Feb 11th its no huge deal, Ive waited this long already.

    They are not going to let you order it unless you have a Business account. Corporate discount is different.

    Aristile, I am not going to be able to order today but I do know someone on a non business account that called right after me and his is on the way. Worth a shot! And yes, they first said the 11th until I told them to check, when they did they were able to order it. Good luck all!

    I called this morning and ordered 3. Took a few minutes because I called so early. But they processed my upgrades for 3 devices. I should get it in 2 to 3 days.

    I sure hope it's not $300 when it releases for non business customers. Didn't want to pay 3 bills up front.

    When I got my 8320 back in Nov 2007 it was $300 up front with a $50 mail in for a 2yr and $375 up front with a $50 mail in for a 1yr (which I did). It will be their flagship phone so don't be surprised if its just what I mentioned earlier ($50 higher than the Pearl Flip)

    I just called and I asked if I could get the curve 8900, the rep asked for my mobile number. He then said its not available to me cause I have a corporate discount (freelancersunion) not a corporate account

    worked for me...up to a point...once it got to shipping, the rep noticed that I didn't have a corporate account so he THINKS it won't ship until 2/11...

    Either way he was able to enter the order and gave me an order number.

    now i will just to perpetually check ups.com to see if it ships...

    I was successful in placing an order. I do not have a corporate account and just have a corporate discount. I called the phone # given in the first post and was transferred to a non-business representative. The representative gave me the new blackberry curve 8900 without for 299 and 100 mail in rebate. I am one happy customer.

    I just tried and called T-Mobile Just now and they said it is not available until 2/11/09. I wanted to upgrade my wife. I have a discount on my account. Is there anyway of doing this like what do i have to say to them in order for them to ship me the phone?

    To digital75. All I said was that I was transferred by the corporate line over to individual customer line. I told the rindividual customer rep that I assumed that I had a corporate account. She told me that the phone will be available on 2/11 but a second later told me that I can get the phone today. I did not ask any her any more questions and just placed the order.

    WOW, I'm surprised you guys are having success without a business line. I guess the lesson here is: If at first you don't succeed, hang up and call another CS rep! Good Luck.
