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.

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...

$299-$499 with a contract.

$300 more with the blender add-on.

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

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

[Sith_Apprentice]

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

[Cory Scheuer]

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

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

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!

[mobile_pheen]

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.

[rambo47]

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'...
