Free!
My brother-in-law hooked me up with a 7250 just to start out my addiction!

It's like a pusher saying "Here try this... The first one is free, you gotta pay after that though..."

new BB user, just picked up a 8130 for all around usage and diggin the MP3 player for my bike rides (one less thing to carry)

$200-50 rebate= $150
Verizon contract, $80per month data package - 13% Scripps discount my wife gets = $69 and some change monthly

Loving every minute of this device!!

I'm pleading the fifth as I will incriminate myself. My contract was not up for renewal so I paid the full Canadian price for my 8130. It hurt but it was so worth it!

Blackberry 8310 Curve was exactly $100 and free shipping with new ATT contract from Newegg.com No mail in rebate BS, discounts were instant.

[finder216]

I bought an BB 8300 on eBay, for $200 ($210 with shipping), then paid $13.99 for the unlock code, again on eBay. Everything works great!

Got my 8830 WE from Verizon on my renewal for 250 after rebates, blah blah blah lol... I love this phone a wholleee lot!

Got mine 8100 for $12.32.......Wal-Mart just started selling BB for T-Mobile. Some stores have 3 choices but most stores I ve seen have the BB 8100. With a one year agreement you get the 8100 for $48.00. I was out of contract with them but been with them since before the merger of 03. The trick to get that price was to add a line for $9.99 & drop my old number. Then I was able to use $40.00 in Wal-mart gift cards to purchase my BB for just $12.32 out of pocket. Im also new to the BB world so I don't really know if this deal was good, great, or just ok. Now gotta get tones & wallpapers.

It was $29.99 - it was a refurb, but I think it was maybe an overstock or something because it looks brand spankin new. To think...I wasn't sure I wanted one...

BB 8100 Pearl : Normally costs 300+ Euros here in Belgium but got it when Proximus was doing a cash-back action. Only payed 199.99 For it (nowadays like 280 dollars). Worth every cent imo, GREAT device!

My BB curve was free after $100 in rebates from walmart through letstalk. With tmo I pay about 90 bucks a month including BB unlimited, 1000 text messages, unlimited m2m, insurance and 1000 whenever mins with unlimted nights and weekends. Well worth every single penny!

I payed 450. No rebate, no deal, no contract. I'm very pleased with my purchase though.

[mdubyas]

Paid $60 for my Pearl after all my Verizon credits and mail in rebate.

Basically i got my red 8310 and made money on it. I am a cell phone addict, but i get them for free or really cheap. I have a 4 line family plan, and forgot to upgrade the line i use for 1.5 years, so ATT gave me an extra $50 off my upgrade. Thats when i got my red Treo 680, for $29.( I was a palm addict for the past 4 years) Then i bought the Curve for $99 5 days ago. I recently sold the 680 treo for 175, and then upgraded another line to a 750 treo, for $99, and sold that for $325. So i madde out pretty good in the deal, except for the addiction to BB that i now have. I will never get another phone besides a BB... My plan? for the 4 lines its $300 per month, but my line is $80 primary, 49.99unlimited BB connect, unlimited SMS and MMS.

I have a 8130 on Vz I got for (ne2) for 106 and a $50 reabate. Not bad for the quality of the Pearl. Calling plan cost 70 and 29.95 data.
I probably would have spent that for any new phone I got so the extra is only the monthly data.
IMO it is worth it just in amusement alone and the quality of the phone and BB part makes it hard to put a price on it. I am retired and on a fixed income so to speak(I do sports betting hence love the BB for fast emails)so I have to watch things a bit but still worth it as I spend little for amusement.
Retired and fixed income or not, the BB puts all things up about three levels.
I paid 48 bucks for my retired(maybe) trusty 7130e and still prefer it to the 8130 for most things so I may take the 8130 back or sell it on ebay. Time will tell. I will get a Curve if and when VZ comes out with it even if I have to pay retail.

[vzwcbh]

well i payed 400 for mine full retail with verizon... well worth it... dang man this habbit is more expensive then cocaine!

[alkinamerica]

I had to change my plan but it works out the same as what I was paying before......

$109.00 for 1200 mins
7pm - nights included
cell to cell included
internet/email/text pictures unlimited included

Pearl 8130 was $249 with a $100 mail in rebate......

I just added that to my cell phone bill and I'll pay it when it comes....

Not too bad I guess!
