From our T-Mobile rep:

2 Year agreement
Retail price (BB 8700) = $349.99 - $40.00 MCSA discount = Upfront cost: $309.99 plus a $50.00 mail in rebate = Final cost $259.99

1 Year agreement
Retail Price (BB 8700) = 399.99 - $40.00 MCSA discount = Upfront cost: $359.99 plus a $50.00 mail in rebate = Final cost $309.99

What's the MCSA discount and how does one achieve it?

[NJBlackBerry]

Corporate deal.

Here's as article with some more pictures of the T-Mobile US 8700g. It's from the CTIA show. It seems that the darker black look is the color they went with.

That is still not black, it is a dark Blue.

I agree. But it is still darker looking than the UK T-mobile units.

Agreed. It looks black at first glance but if you compare it to some of the trim which does appear to be black, you can see that it looks like a super dark blue.

At this point, I have no preference over either. I just want to have an Edge, faster-processor BlackBerry on T-Mobile.

I have to meet a client for lunch and there is a T-Mobile store in the area. I may just have to drop by. Not expecting anything to come of that, but have to try.

Just ordered for $299 after $50 rebate, but my rep made me signa 2 year. He said they weren't doing 1 year agreements...

[Skrilla™]

Just 1 more week! I will be upgrading from a Nokia 6016i (junk Sprint phone) to a BlackBerry!

Perhaps I should order a screen protector and case...

What is the demand like for these things? Will it be difficult to obtain? I am thinking about going during my lunch break to get one of these.

Hmm, that's what I'm hearing from resellers, but that's retail side; had no idea they're also enforcing two year renewals for corporate as well. To save a lousy $50, I'm not going to sign 2 years. Eff that!

[toddvicid]

I talking to my rep right now, and about to sign a 1 year contract. It will be $399 minus a $50 rebate. I'm a new T-mobile customer.

[blake.blake]

my berry rep told me the following...

"With all new lines of service the 8700G is $99.99 after rebate. Get your order in early. They will be released to the public next week sometime. ORDER TODAY xxx8211; DELIVERED TOMORROW!!"

[NJBlackBerry]

Be prepared for a surprise. Not $99...
