Fascinate Pricing

I was surprised to see T-Mobile launch this phone with a BOGO offer. My hope is that since VZW is not putting all their faith in this phone we will at least benefit with a similar offer. Of course its VZW and I'm not holding my breath.
I didn't know that T-Mobile did BOGO with Vibrant.
However, I don't think VZW has ever done BOGO on launch date with a high-end phone. It does not matter for me either way as I don't need/want to sign another line.

Hope not. Instore CSR told me that with my plan it was $100. If he was wrong, he could be looking at an unfortunate accident of some kind. ;)

If you haven't used your NE2 recently, it may still be $100. My contract from '07 had a 100 NE2 unused because I've been doing annual upgrades on that line.

Once you use it, it will go down to $50 for next time (new NE2 are 30/50 depending on priceplan, from 50/100)

I used it about 2 yr. ago. Now that it's here I confirmed online that it is $100. Looks like I am grandfathered in. If it's my last one for $100 I will wait for Fascinate or the much rumored Moto SuperPhone. Also, if the credit goes down to only $50 next time, there will be much less incentive for me to stick with Verizon. I have been with them since Bell-Atlantic and Bag phone / brick days. (Damn, I'm getting old!)

So for $50 you would switch carriers?? WOW i mean its once every 2 years and if you do switch good luck with other carriers where you may not get coverage in the same areas you had with verizon

I hear ya. Thanks. Good point. Didn't say I would, just that there would be less incentive for me to stay. In 2 yr. Sprint may have improved their coverage, who knows? I'll evaluate the decision when it comes up and this will be one of the things that figures in the mix.
I know what you mean about the coverage. Week before last we were in Galax, VA for the Old Fiddler's convention. Couple of friends were on T-mobile and their phones had no service at all. They had to borrow my phone which had 4 bars loud and clear!

because multiple times i wanted to switch to sprint for the cheaper plans and the Evo and when i was with a friend who had sprint i had 4 bars and he had none when we were driving around the one time so ill pay a little extra knowing i will have service just about anywhere

Well ur gonna have to wait til it comes out in oct is when supposed to be released^^
