I'm lookin to get the 8100 tomorrow but i will need to buy it straight out - no discount/upgrade pricing.....i talked to 2 stores that told me they had it ready to sell but wont be selling w/out upgrade/new contract.....
are there any dealers from south florida here that will sell to me? i'll give u my business and u'll save me the headache of running around to get one.
Thanks
(in Ft Lauderdale)
edit - I meant to say "TUESDAY" not tomorrow/monday...thanks
Wish I could help although TM here is pretending they don't know anything about the 8100 (Pearl). In fact, as of Saturday, the local store manager said that even when they do arrive, they would be restricted to corporate customers. She also said, they are not expected to sell very many so they will only be available as a special order item.
Regards,
The guy in my local store (northern NJ) said they'd be selling to anyone. He played dumb at first but started to laugh when I started quoting things from this forum to him. Must have been pretty accurate as I seemed to know more than most of the other reps in the store. They are still being tight-lipped about the Pearl. This guy said they're not even allowed to have the non-working demo unit out until Tuesday.
The T-Mobile store on Northlake Blvd, 5 miles north of West Palm has them in stock with no BS about selling with no contract. I'm going there after work to pick one up. Their number is 561-845-5411...
