I just did an upgrade via my.t-mobile.com.

Its $149 after a $50 mail in rebate.

Final cost was $232 BEFORE rebate and after tax ($14.xx in AZ) and upgrade fee ($18).

T-Mobile BlackBerry Pearl 8120

Suggested retail$349.99
Instant Discount-$150.00
Mail-In-Rebate-$50.00

$149.99

I believe the instant discount is for new contracts only.

If you want it without a plan it'll still be $300 after the $50 rebate.

I could be wrong...can a Tmo rep confirm? Or anyone that knows.

This is on the upgrade page on my.t-mobile.com. So this reflects an upgrade price, not a new plan.

Ok.

So for those that want it without a plan (those with no upgrades left) it would be $300.

Not cool lol.

W/O an available upgrade it'd be more then $300

I'm evil though; i got this for my wife for her birthday, told her about it and then told her she can't get it till her birthday in june, even though I'll have it in my hands.

I want to upgrade, but I just got my 8100 about 5-6 weeks ago. I would have waited if I knew the 8120 was coming out this month. I guess I'll just have to wait until I can get a little discount and then upgrade again.

TMO should authorize a new phone upgrade every year, or at least I've had the opportunity to get one. ~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~when I bought my 2nd pearl (the first one got squished) it used my "upgrade" even though it was a replacement phone... I think that sucks!

[rok8man]

Its sad that all phone companies give better deals to would-be customers than the customers that have been loyal to them. I dont understand that. I looked up on my tmo site and it would cost me 289 plus the activation charge to get a 8120. I am not going to pay that much. Thats just sad imo.

They do, but it's only a partial discount if you have 2 year agreement. I've upgraded twice and both times it's been before my contract finished. To bad my first upgrade was to a Sidekick and not a BB, I could have saved a bunch of $$$.

Went into the store today and it is $349.99 without a contract. Rebate does not apply w/o a contract Also, did not like the color. It is very close to the titanium 8320 Curve. I walked out without getting it. I still have my White Pearl and will just use that as a back up for my Curve and wait for the new 4.5 release to get Video.

If that was a corp store then that's just plain wrong. Today was a national release not tomorrow. :-(
