Agreed, but I would imagine that most people who buy the 8830 intend to travel with it. Otherwise, there's really little point in buying the phone in the first place."
"Not really. Many will buy it just because it's new"
That would be me! I travel very little out of the country. It's new, it's cool and I'm a little tired of my year old Q. I've never used a BlackBerry but everyone that I know that has one (including my 16 year old nephew) loves it and calls my Q a BlackBerry wanna-be! So I ordered one yesterday, and no, I do not have a Business account with Verizon, just a normal customer.
I ordered mine last night and expect to see it either Monday or Tuesday. It's shipped today supposedly with free fed ex! I got a few options, the leather case, car charger and blue tooth headphones. The only discount not shown on my bill is the 100 mail in rebate. Here's my bill:
Item Code..........Description......................Pri ce....Discount
RIM8830CAS......CAS:RIM BB8830 LTHR.....$24.99...$10.00
RIMVPC-1...........CLA:RIM7103/8703CLA....$29.99...$20.00

So with the phone for 399 and a automatic discount of 200, then the 100 mail in rebate they say will be in the box, that puts the phone at 99! I'm pretty excited! This will pop my BlackBerryCherry!
