What to do, what to do (ongoing)

So I was all but settled on a Curve a few days ago — T-mobile was charging $149.99 for new signups to buy the device and I figured it would be gravy to go out and get the Curve at one point or another in the very near future.

Then this weekend happened and Tmobile decided to do itself a favor and jacked up the price to $199. This is while new signups elsewhere can get the device for as low as 30 bucks through third parties (and new signups).

What am I supposed to do here? Pay the piper? While I’m aware of 3rd party vendors, I haven’t been made aware if I can get a deal even if I already have a contract with Tmobile.

    If you’re a current customer you should be able to get a deal when your current contract comes up for re-negotiation. If not, cancel it for a day, then come back as a “new” customer and see if that works. Or try buying it elsewhere and just putting your sim card in the phone.

    Call and ask for the old price, at least, before you give up. It never hurts to ask.

    And how long will it be before the next interesting pda comes out? Three months?

    I’m not sure I’m against a Six Flags in Pasco.
