The reason they offer a rebate instead of just lowering the price is twofold; in the first place it goes on the books as selling for asking price. The second reason is they can diddle around with the sales figures at the end of the fiscal year as in: “We had to give rebates just to get this model moving, hence we took a loss”. Both are just semantical excercises in creative book keeping. I’ve never owned a Motorola device – I handled the phone and I want one. I’m not a PDA/phone type of user. The V9m has all the features I want, some I’ll never activate, and not too many whizbangs. I’ll wait for the price to drop a little before I order two (one for my wife; she loves “tech” looking phones). BTW, I had the same Katana experience at a Sprint mall kiosk… morons!

This is not a joke, I went to a sprint store after work to see if they had one in. The guy said, yes we have razrs 2 and then went and got a sanyo katina,, he not only had no clue what the razr2 was he had no clue what the sanyo was… pretty much, he had no clue.

I know that sounded like it was recycled but on the Q I asked who actually bought one or considered buying one and what else they were considering. Here I asked who bought one the moment they read this. So it’s technically not the same but I see what you’re getting at.

Jeff, the first comment remarks are lame, and old hat. stop recylcing your comments from each thread. your question should be posed to Sprint, not here.

As much as I would want Sprint to release the BB Curve, I fear that it is not even on the radar screen.

1st comment!!!!
If they sell it with an instant rebate then why don’t they just sell it for the price after rebate? I mean even after the rebate it doesn’t look anymore affordable. But let’s see where it goes considering people paid upwards of $500 for an iPhone and most of us know the real tech behind that…
I’m sure, BG guys included, would love to know this.
Who bought one of these the moment they read this?
