Verizon definitely changed the fine print. It used to say ARV: $299 each.

In the terms and conditions for contest states: Prizes: Daily Grand Prizes (50): A BlackBerry® Storm™ 9500 Smartphone and a $50 Verizon Wireless gift card Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”):  $549 each. From reading that the Retail cost sounds more like $499 minus the Gift Card. Although, $299 does sound alot better :P Where is everyone getting $299 from?

That's it, I'm either moving to the east coast or the west coast... Everything seems to happen there. F the midwest.. lol As for the price, my understanding (from what my account manager has told me, he could be wrong..) is the same as Marc's. It will be $299 but then you get a $100 MIR - thus making it $199. They've told us from the begining that the price will compare to that of the iphone. Sooo, that would only make sense. Happy hunting Manhattan! I'm hope'n someone that visits this site finds a clue.. I wanna know what they are!! :) DAMN!

I have looked at the Fine Print tab and the only place $299 is located is in the ARV of each of the tickets. For the Storm winners, it does say "Daily Grand Prizes (50): A BlackBerry® Storm™ 9500 Smartphone and a $50 Verizon Wireless gift card Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”):  $549 each." Which less the gift card you get an ARV of $499 for the Storm. Is it just typical of Verizon to knock off $200 w/ 2-year agreement and RIM to offer $100 mail-in rebate?

You can't ask for more money than the iPhone 3G when it hasn't even proved that it's better yet. I'm gonna see how it performs and based on that, I'll make my decision. $299? No way.
