Hello all,
I'm on my way to becoming an addict until I noticed the my T-mobile BB 8320 only had 1 or 2 (if I’m lucky) bars in my apartment as well as my area. I called and they told me to buy a router (I don't have my IMac yet) but I felt like…I should have to, so I didn't. I sent the phones back and decided to go back to Verizon. Now my dilemma is:

•I live in Northern NJ and Verizon has the best service where I live & work.
• I work for a University where I can get a great Discount and I want to take advantage of all these things.

•I just checked Best buy & they have my BB for 49.99 with a 2 year contract BUT I’d have to pay the activation fee ( I won't have to if I get it through the store or the Verizon Rep here) and the other problem is that through my employer I’d have to pay 100.00 for the phone.

If you have any thoughts please share.
Thanks,
Nat

Do the math. How much is the VZW activation fee? Is $100 with no activation fee more or less than $50 plus the activation fee?
