an estimation, I am very curious.

noone knows. best estimate $200-$700. It really depends on the features, the carrier, the length of a contract, rebates, etc

I'm guessing $400 out the door with service contract.

Is this a guessing game?

$699, no contract.

$299-$499 with a contract.

$300 more with the blender add-on.

well if we are going to do guesses of contract vs no contract then i will take a guess as well.

$549.99 contract
$599.99 upgrade
$849.99 no contract

Will be free for me.

I'm not getting one. No contract required.

But I do like the blender add-on.

But your guesses are too expensive.

sheez, have a heart.

did you not notice my name... "Sith..." ? i dont have a heart!

If I had to choose from the above, I'd place my bets on this one (sorry, just watched "21"). I think the contract price could go down to $499.99, though

you just want to one up me Jibi! (that being said you are probably right lol)

I take that as passive agreement with my guess.

I say $50 less then whatever iphone is available at the time.

I like JSanders numbers. Look what an unlocked, no contract Curve costs today. Over $500.

I don't think the blender will cost as much.

I love the hype over unreleased hardware and software. I hear the 9000 will come with v4.7.

Man the pricing just won't go away

I think sith is right on

I estimate it at the following, but as always I hope it will be less.

$600 - 649 - Retail Price
$349 - 399 - 1 Year Contract
$449 - 499 - 2 Year Contract

The cost for me will be the price of a knife and a black ski mask...

lol jeremy

hmmmmm

no thanks not worth a few years in jail


but a very funny thought

why is your 1 year price cheaper than the 2 year?

Just a couple hundred off. What's the biggie when you're just talking hundreds of dollars?

My guess is at&t will offer it for $399 after a $50 MIR (BB data plan required)with a 2 year contract.

$599 retail.

I will just go in with a wire cutter and steal one directly for the cingular store.
Easy. No one will even notice. Anyone want a BB while I am there?
wire cutter (4 dollars) + ski mask (10 dollars) = 14 dollar total cost.

10 - 20 year prison education = Priceless!

hahahahhaha


JS very funny

JS - if you hadnt made that joke I was totally going to.

classic.

Whoops, typo on that one.

I estimate it at the following, but as always I hope it will be less.

$600 - 649 - Retail Price
$449 - 499 - 1 Year Contract
$349 - 399 - 2 Year Contract

If you got to ask the price...

go on

I think this is accurate except if you get the Margarittaville option. Seriously more than the 8800 by 1-2 bills.

... you can't afford it.

Hahaha
There is a difference between the ability to afford it and deciding whether it is a good buy.
I am not going to drop 400 $ on a phone that will not amaze me, I would have bought the I-phone if I chose phones based on "hotness." Anyways my curve will arrive tomorrow

and asking a price doesnt mean you cant afford it. just means you might... oh i dont know, want the price lol

well whatever the price is, i'm already saving for it muahahahahha i cant wait for it!!! hopefully the 8300 will last that long

Well said!

Yeah, that sounds about right to me. I second this pricing structure. Discounts for bulk purchases for corporations, as well.

AZA

10-20 years in prison, where do you live?!

In Massachusetts, that crime would get you 6 months probation first offense, 12 months probation second offense, 12 months probation with a fine offenses 3-6, 1 year house corrections (only six months to serve) for offenses 7-21 and...well you can see where I am going with this. On the upside you would get to keep the phones you stole...no matter how many previous offenses you had!

Wish we had your states laws!

expect 399-599 on rogers w/ a term (data ECF applies)

True. But I hope/think your first comment on theft is a joke. Because anyone who suggests theavery most likely just can't afford it.

I think Sith is right on. This will be the most expensive BB to date, by far, and set a new "holy cow" standard for pricing. They may offer steeper discounts and provide a 3-year contract option however. I'm just sayin'...

100 million dollars!!! <<Evil music, puts pinkey to corner of mouth>>
