BlackBerry Curve 8900 now $149.99 from T-Mobile
So long, early adopter tax. Don’t worry though, current T-Mobile Curve 8900 owners, this one’s not as bad as it could have been in the scheme of things. As of this morning it looks like T-Mobile’s flagship BlackBerry has shed some excess margin in an effort to boost sales. Potential Curve 8900 owners will now find that the sleek 3G-less beauty is $50 cheaper than it was last night, settling in at $149.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate. Not bad, not bad. Email-hungry T-Mobile customers really have no reason to shy away from BlackBerry’s latest Curve now as there simply isn’t a better value to be had in Pinksville as far as we’re concerned. So who’s in?
Thanks, Justin!

@ wellington armelin Don’t believe the hype! Good luck with your nickel and dime you to death nuetered berry! not to mention being forced to have data plan for entire length of contract!
i know but vzw has all the blackberrys that i want t mobile plans are great its just that they dont get blackberrys vzw gets i really dont see why i have to pay 500 for and updated version of the bb i already have i tried out the 8900 its cool but not worth it
Tmo dont not force you to keep a data plan! Att does! Also Tmo gives you the choice of a data only or mins only options for all phones!…I got the 8900 a few days before release for 179.30 1yr contract after a 200.00 rebate!
Is the mail-in-rebate a downloadable form? I just bought an 8900 under the customer-loyalty program for $179.99 about 10 days ago…still within the “buyer’s remorse” period. If I could convince them to give me the $149.99 price as a retro-active pricematch, AND use the $100 rebate, that would be frikkin AWESOME! $49.99 for a badass smartphone!!! If anyone knows exactly how the mail-in rebate works, PLEASE PM me….thanks!
Or just reply here…. thanks =)
I doubt if it will work, but would be a super slick deals
I bought mine a month ago, and called them after I read this. They gave me $20 credit to my acct. Ya, I’m outside the 14 day price match / return window, but $20 is something.
@ backbeat: Did you forget about $10/month for UMA calling a.k.a. Hotspot aka TalkForever? I agree that still doesn’t make up for the $24 discrepancy
^No. Didn’t forget, as Marin never mentioned needing/subscribing to the UMA plan.

I am holding on to my 8320 until they have a small 3G device! It’s falling apart and has scratches on the screen but I need 3G before I switch.
