Upgrade Phone To KRZR

I am eligible for an upgrade on our family plan. One phone is, and
one isn't there yet. I would like to get either a KRZR or a V3xx. I
have been looking at the various options for purchase, and they are
confusing to say the least. Cingular wants $200 for a KRZR. Cingular
kiosks in malls want $150. Wal-Mart wants $94. Amazon wants $40.
Then there is Ebay where you can apparently buy one for one-cent! All
of these with a new 2-year contract which I don't have a problem with.
I am a little nervous about the Ebay phones, as they seem to come from
different countries, etc. Some offers, like on Amazon, are very
difficult to understand re new contract vs upgrade.

Any advice on where to get one? Wal-Mart seems like the best price vs
hassle.

Wal-Mart sounds like the best deal if you want to be guaranteed that it will
be a US Compliant cellular phone and no hassles. If you have any problems,
you can go back to WalMart, as opposed to shipping it back to someone that
you have gotten it from on the internet.
If you have a Radio Shack nearby, you might want to look there as well. I
found a STEAL on mine at Radio Shack, and the customer service was fabulous.
