ok, that didnt really help me thread at all lol, well before they were on sale for like $40. but i thought maybe the closer to xmas the cheaper, cuz they'll want to get rid of them, but idk, a few ppl on here work there so i thought i would ask

The reason theres those rebates and those phones are so CHEAP is because they get you for the 2yr subscription. If were to buy mine or someone elses off of ebay. Your going to spend around $150 but you dont need to keep the plan for 2 yrs. Remember theres no such thing as FREE or a GOOD DEAL from a multi million dollar company there is always some catch to you are going to pay more. There not rich from giving good deals.

whats the difference between a locked and unlocked

no if you buy a unlocked phone you just need to buy a sim card through your service then add it on a month to month plan so you can cancel it any time you want. It works out better this way for some people that dont want to get sucked into a 2 yr contract. I wish I did it because I could use the phone in the summer when working then in winter when laid off I can shut the phone off for a few months and save the money that way

hmmm and being the locked one is 70, it might be a good idea to pay an extra $100

I am not possitive but i think if the phone is unlocked you can add any simcard to it for a gsm phone but if it is locked you are stuck to what ever service it is like cingular or t mobile etc. If you want a silver razzer i have been thinking of selling mine off.
