I was due for an upgrade in Jan. so I paid $299.99 w/a $100 mail in rebate for my 8830, which I just got back. But now I hear of a CDMA curve so I'll have to buy it so chalk that up to the cost!
Really though, as others have stated comparing it to other addictions in life... I've know some REAL crackheads in my time that would easily blow $500 in a 2-day weekend, if not less.
30bucks after all rebates but freaken stupied 279 orignal price and then instant 200 off and then 40 mail in rebate that the stupiest part is they charged me tax on 279!
funny story. The boyfriend wanted a new phone for awhile, so for his bday I bought him the env from verizon. he loved it. then a week later my old razr fell in a toilet over St.Pats weekend... so i bought my BB curve. (i fudged the numbers to him, but my secret is safe w/ you guys...)
BB Pearl 8130 on Verizon Wireless - Retail: $419 (what a crock!)
Actual Price: $299 - $100 "Advanced device credit" - $100 new every 2 - $50 MIR = 49.99
Changed my service to family share plan w/unlimited text messaging - $90/mo. Added in unlimited BB service for 44 bucks a month. If I ever get under control for downloads and access I might step down to the 10mb service for less....we'll see about that.
Verizon bb pearl 8130= $99.99 / 900 min talk= $59.99 / Unlimited bb plan= $29.99, add insurance and SMS my bill is $102.00 a month. I have never gone over...
I wasn't eligible for an upgrade yet when I got mine. So I got the we're gonna stick it to you price of $400.00 plus tax. Wouldn't trade it for the world though
