"I'm sorry you haven't been with us for a year. Cingular Wireless offers our models at discounted prices for customers who's been with us for at least 12 months. By August 15th, you'll be eligible to purchase your Nokia 8260 at the discounted price of $200. But for now, the current price is $350"

That is unacceptable! Who spends $350 on cellphones??? I'm pissed right now and I'm gonna buy one right now from internet. Where can I get that model for the cheapest price on Internet???
(must be Cingular compatible, not AT&T)

I really don't wanna buy one from Ebay (word no longer banned ) for several reasons:

1. I'm an impatient bastard and want to buy one NOW! Don't want to wait for bidding to end, transaction, slow shipping etc..
2. I just wanna buy one fast using my credit card (CC will be the doom to us all!) Ebay will involve Paypal.. money order and all that..
3. Ebay = still fishy for me

Where can I buy one NOW???? for cheap?? Remember, I'm stuck in a 2-yr contract with Cingular so I must stick with that company..

fellow ATOTers.. help me out!

I got mine for $200 from AT&T. And it also has $60 rebate which I'm yet to send in. I think voicestream has those for $99 or something.

Voicestream for $99? I'm positive it's promotional deal with contract..

Wait till Aug. 15 and upgrade your phone
I upgraded mine after a year.. Although I only paid $50 + tax for it because they messed up on the price

It's outrageous how expensive it is these days. It's almost worth it just to stop your service after your contract expires, then re-subscribe with them to get the latest phone "free".
