it was 349.99 retail and 249.99 with 2 year contract for existing customers
and 199.99 for new customers and i think if you were corporate it was like
174.99 if you were a new or existing customer.

if he's getting 20% off then he definately got it at a corporate price.

i think i bought one for around 250 when it 1st came out

you should just give him the phone back and tell him to take a hike

they are definately taking advantage of you!!!!

you can find them on ebay for $80 and he's expecting 350 what a jerk
