Ordered mine from the 1-800 number on the website. Our business rep is out of the office today (plus, he's pretty near useless anyway), so I just went ahead and called. Sat on hold for a while, but they didn't give me a hard time about the order at all. It's getting added as an additional secondary line on my family share plan, with int'l roaming (I'm headed to the Caribbean in two weeks; I'll drop back to domestic only when I return), and they gave it to me for $399, less $50 (because it's a secondary line, not a primary), less $100 MIR. The only problem I had is that they won't ship to the non-billing address, which means I may need to chase out to the FedEx center to pick it up when it arrives.

I'll post a review when I get it, including a comparison to the Cingular 8800 that I'm using now. Judging by the PCMAG benchmarks, it isn't too much slower despite having a much slower CPU...the performance bottleneck must be someplace else.
