Best Price Options? (which source usually best?)

---

I don't think I've ever bought a phone upon it's release date. Last time I bought from VZW was in my pre-Eris days when I had an LG VX8700 (still my fav non-smart-phone).

Anyway, in anticipation of this TBolt launch, where would you guys expect to see the best pricing? I don't know if the corporate stores, Amazon or Best Buy, or VZW online or a satellite kiosk traditionally have the best pricing/rebates, etc.>

Just looking for the most bang for my buck I guess.

I do find it ridiculous that they've not announced pricing. If they are "coming soon" they have to know this crap.

if your looking for online then go for Wirefly if your also getting a new contract( i wouldnt but thats me)
of if your looking for full price either amazon or bestbuy. i suspect it will be sold out quick so bestbuy's preorder would make sure you get dibs

Yeah, I'll be doing a new contract, NO way in hellz I'm going to pay full retail for the bugger.

I wonder if BB will let me in on their "buy back" program for free if I pre-order this week. I guess that new service is free this week only. ?

I will find out.

Im paying full $600+

id say Wirefly as they give a ridiculous discount. but dont break their contract or you will be paying out the ass to them

Been with VZW since '98, I doubt I'll jump ship in the next 24 months. I just need to make sure that whatever I do w/the phone it does NOT affect my monthly pricing (I've got that great 69.99 plan for unlimited text, data, 450 minutes and 5 friends and family #'s).

Wirefly is good on some phones, but Amazon is sometimes better with their discounts.

I will be adding two of these to an existing plan, and porting numbers over from ATT, so I think I will see who offers the best deal. Including calling VZW directly and pitching them whatever lowest price I find online.

ATT's sales/retention has always matched Amazon prices for me in the past and without the pesky secondary ETF to worry about.

Its probably grandfathered in from long ago. Much like ATT will let you keep an existing unlimited data plan, but they no longer offer it to new customers.

It was a special pricing plan but it ended on 1/31. You had to be "invited" by VZW to get it -or- had to call in to customer service and ask REAL nice about their loyalty program.

My contract was due to be up this year, so I think that's how I got it.
