I posted this in my 8320 thread but wanted to make sure everyone saw it.

I thought I would pass along the pricing I was sent for the 8320 from T-Mobile aong with some additional info.

Pricing:
Suggested Pricing is $249.99 with a $50 Rebate, Net Cost to Customer $199.99
Two year plan


Begin Pre-selling Device
Wednesday-9/18 Orders can be keyed
Friday-9/21 Inventory will become available, at which time "Pre-orders" will drop and begin shipping

It is critical, that you set proper customer expectations when submitting "Pre-orders" as inventory WILL NOT be available prior to 9/21
• Final Customer list submitted to 3rd party 9/17
• 9/18 Inventory expected to arrive at 3rd party distribution center
• 9/18-9/21- Seed devices will be packaged & shipped to Sales Managers
• 9/24- Expected date to receive devices in the field for delivery to your customers


Also pricing for upgrades will be coming forth a week after release

Please note presales for the Curve start TODAY for business accounts. Also I was told they will be doing upgrades for T-Mo folks start Monday the 24th. A little gift to T-Mo customers

[bemelo56]

Is this for business accounts only, or do these prices relate to anyone getting the curve?

[BamaFan2989]

im going to copy your post over to pinstack goat.

that's awesome.

i know there is like some war or something, but i never understood the pinstack / bbforums thing... lol...

anyway, thanks...

i just called and they said no info on pricing yet.:[

The price tag of $249 - $50 rebate applies to personal accounts also.

If you can get a hold of a business rep, you can actually order your device with a new line today. No activation fee. 1 year contract. Device will ship on Friday. You can get it overnight delivery.

Will ONLY work if you contact your local business rep. They won't care if you don't have a business account -- They'll be more than happy to sign you up with a new line.

Man oh man....if these prices are true, then thank God I'll still be within the 14 days to return the Pearl I just bought.

[BamaFan2989]

I am hoping it is 350 full price. Thats what I am looking for. The non contract price.

[BamaFan2989]

yeah i thought 350 was going to be after my upgrade, but i am getting upgrade :]

Yea but I am one year into my two year contract from buying the Pearl. But the CSR said that I eligble for a partial upgrade. So as soon as I get the no contract price, I can then ask what is the partial discount and then make a assessment. Full price vs partial discount price. And will I be able to get that price at the Tmo store.......

I am actually in the same situation. I was told that I would be able to get a partial discount. I told the CSR that if its not worth it, I will pay full price and have no contract.

I'm in the same situation as well. I wasted my 2 year pricing on a SK3. My wife just used her 2 year pricing on a BB Pearl for herself over the weekend. I ordered a Blackberry Pearl on Thursday and received it on Friday at full price. I sent that back yesterday via UPS. I'm hoping T-Mo gets in back in time to credit it to my account and I can upgrade again online Monday. Otherwise, I will be calling CS Monday to order it at full price. Thank God for being able to charge it to your account and pay it off when your bill arrives. I'll be paying on my bill every week to offset it being so high come November and also selling our SK3s. Good info.

[flash24]

Thanks Goat! Awesome info! Keep it up

...so 349.99 is the price of "just" the phone by itself?

I doubt it. the 8700g's suggested retail is still listed at 399 @ tmo's website

[jyamani]

This is coming from my TMO corporate rep's email:

"We currently do not have a pricing structure in front of us for upgrades / full retail. Upgrades will most likely start about a week or two after the 24th launch date. If I were to make an educated guess, I would say $499 retail price."

[phungy]

I better put my Pearl up for sale :p I want it now!

[rambo47]

I'd be shocked if it came in at anything less than $499/full retail.
