Has anybody confirmed whether this is on the shelf in a brick and mortar T-mobile store yet?

Especially in the Houston, TX area.

as long as t-mobile has it on the internet i'm pretty sure that the stores will have them as well as the indirect dealers. Dont quote that to me though cause i wont be able to find out till 2mro when i go back to work.

It's available as an upgrade if you call customer service. The price depends on your individual account and if you are eligible for an upgrade. I was not able to upgrade through the website either.

spoke with a rep earlier today(yes i know many don't know anything) and she told me it should be up and available for online upgrade in 1 to 2 days.

the reason i wanna upgrade online is because the just tack the price on to your monthly bill. with my account (don't know if this applies with all) if i upgrade on the phone or at the store i have to supply a credit card number.

that's all cool and everything except for the fact that i have an $153.00 credit on my bill and i'm trying to use that to pay for this phone.

i'll ride it out and wait. i've been due to upgrade for over 9 months now so 3 days to a week won't be that long

I actually upgraded over the phone and the cost will be applied to my bill. No credit card involved.

~via 8120 (wap.pinstack.com)~

Question to TMo Reps: If I upgraded in May, which I did to get the 8120 (and paid $235 USD), when would I be eligible for even a partial upgrade to get the 8220? And what would the cost be? I really want this phone for the bigger keypad.
