will the best buy price and the TMo store prices be the same?

Best Buy is a 3rd party reseller. Their new contract price is likely lower because they get a larger kick back, Same reason why the many 3rd party sites give you the phones for free or send you money.

I called them and they told me that it is going to run me $199 to upgrade. I feel that people that is already a customer should be offered a lower price than new accounts. I am going to call them and give them a piece of my mind.

Lucky thing I didn't buy when I did; I would have been furious.

That'll really help, calling up and giving a piece of your mind huh? Don't get me on the phone...DENIED!

The pricing shown is for BEST BUY, not T-MOBILE! They likely will not break because of that. Dang good price though!

I bought mine from tmo about 3 weeks ago. The price was will be 200 after the rebates. 150 would have been nicer but no regrets, I love this phone!!

but still the buy out price with no agreement is higher then rogers.. on rogers to buy out the phone is $599.. from what i see it's $649 for tmobile!?

My 8900 was delivered on Feb 2nd. I got mine on regular Individual plan, not Business - thanks to your forums, I just kept calling until I got a customer service rep cool enough to put the order in. $249 after mail-in rebate for a one year contract. Loving it, btw, the WiFi makes up for no 3G and the battery life is still great with WiFi use.

This is the same full upgrade price I received when I ordered the 8900 over the phone. What was amazing was that T-Mo gave this to me after I completed the sale and hung up with them.

Isn't tomorrow the BIG DAY? :)

 
 
Posted by aeromonte Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009 1201 days ago

Yes, Feb 11th is the official release date for the 8900. I know my local T-Mobile said they are getting a truck in that day with some of them. I just hope Best Buy has it tomorrow also... I did an online chat session with Best Buy mobile and they informed me that they were not given a date yet for when they are getting it and also that they have always been given a date for previous devices in the past.

I just spoke with the Best Buy near me. They said their "street" date is February 22nd.

Family Plan ** 3-5 lines** = Free? Whats that about?

 
 
Posted by cbanks_80 Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009 1201 days ago

Well I guess we'll all know tomorrow. Tmobile confirmed it will be available tomorrow.

On the TMO site for $199 (2yr. lock)!

 
 
Posted by melissa24 Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009 1201 days ago

will the 8900 be sold online or just in the store???

 
 
Posted by imadss176 Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009 1201 days ago

y would a 1 year upgrade be free and a two year upgrade be $300?

 
 
Posted by vroman58 Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009 1201 days ago

Like IMADSS176 said, just doesnt make sense, why would a 2 yr contract extension be $300 and a 1 yr FREE??? And $149.00 just seems to low for a nice BB like this one. Heck, I paid the same price for a Pearl 8800 when I got it a few months ago. And it has way less features.

I may be a little ignorant here, but none of the Best Buys I've visited sell T-Mob phones (SoCal). I've only seen the pre-paid T-Mob devices there. I hope they will have this phone, I'll be all over it!

 
 
Posted by lalifeguards Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009 1201 days ago

Yes I like this price a lot! Thanks. But These RIM people are really smart! They keep putting out phones with just enough features missing that you want the phone but can't wait to buy the next one that comes out. I just got my 8220 flip not even 3 months ago!! YIKES! Now I want the 8900.... when will this insanity end?

 
 
Posted by Melanne Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009 1201 days ago

Is the rumored price of $149.99 just for new customers or is for anyone who is willing to extend their contract? I'm currently with T-mobile, have been for the last 8 years so why change now, and would not mind giving them another 2 years of my ear time for the new 8900.

 
 
Posted by angiebutterfly Wednesday, Feb 11, 2009 1201 days ago

I've been drooling over this phone since it was first rumored. What willpower it'll take not to upgrade at full retail. :( It sucks having to be responsible.

 
 
Posted by zz12 Wednesday, Feb 11, 2009 1201 days ago

amazon got it for $50 and letstalk has it for $100

 
 
Posted by aeromonte Wednesday, Feb 11, 2009 1201 days ago

Just bought mine from Wirefly. $99 + $20 overnight shipping (after mail in rebate)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is $50 better than the Best Buy price.

 
 
Posted by bigwillie Thursday, Feb 12, 2009 1200 days ago

I called and that's what they told me as well. but their upgrade pricing didn't quite match up...

 
 
Posted by drespray87 Thursday, Feb 12, 2009 1199 days ago

i paid the 2 year price at the local tmo store, and it was 320 ish before the mail in rebate but i recieved the corp.discounts so it was a fair trade in my oppinion

 
 
Posted by duppiecoon Thursday, Feb 12, 2009 1199 days ago

as of 2/12 current prices of the new 8900 seems different. wirefly, amazon, letstalk all have different prices compared to above listed replies. so please check your sites and local availabilities. maybe it's just seattle, wa pricing that's high

 
 
Posted by duppiecoon Friday, Feb 13, 2009 1198 days ago

so here is what one might want to try for better pricing. after you place the order for the new 8900 curve through on line or by phone from t-mobile. once you receive the phone take the phone to the ups store and return it. make sure you get the return tracking number. wait 1 business day and call 611 and say you have returned the unit under the "remorse" period which is 14 days. ask them to look into a better pricing and they will adjust the pricing for you and have them ship out another unit. usually t-mobile requires 22 months wait for a regular customer upgrade discount pricing but if you are a long time customer meaning you have been with t-mobile for more than 10+ years you can receive the hadnset with a much much much lower price. if customer service rep cannot assist you ask to be transfer to the account specialist. i am not going to post the actual pricing of my unit because it may be different for everyone but i got mine for a siginificantly lower price than what people have posted here. now remember this may work for you if you have been a long time loyal t-mobile customer. also you may have to wait additional 5-7 days but to me it is worth it very much. good luck to all my crackberry 8900 curve users
