Do you know anyone that works for ATT? If yo ucall the customer cervix, you can talk them into upgrading your phone for a discount. If you've been with them for over a year it should be no problem. I think they typically give it to you for $100 off or something.
And where do you live? I pickd up the 8260 for $20 after a $60 rebate. They have a $50 rebate right now. Call them up and hope that you get a good CSR. And just try and convince them to give you the discount on the phone nad the rebate. I'll ask my GF. We have a friend that works for ATT. It's against policy to do this but it's possible.
