Amazon is offering the 7130c with a service plan for $149.99...at this time it is the lowest price I have found.

Not sure if this was pointed out or not. I do believe that is where I am going to get mine since I am getting a contract anyway.

Anyone know if this is the best deal around so far?

Just curious Liv, what happened with the 8700, I remember when you were dying to get it and now a few months after you are looking to change again. I know it is none of my business, and this is not a put down or anything just want to know. I have always resisted to jump ship from Verizon to get the 8700 and I am now not even sure if I would upgrade to the Verizon 8700 even if it was on the 7250 format ( I know I definitely wont in the current non 7250 format).

Well, right now I am just window shopping, there is a bunch of family stuff going on that is making money tight so I am just shopping. Told myself if I found one at a low price maybe I can swing it later on and get a blackberry again. (I am selling my 8700c)

I love the 8700c, but I started using it as a phone and didn't like how big it was, so this one would fit my needs.
