The new Blackberry Curve,question about ugrading my old phone to it.

[jellyman05]

Just like to say,I am decently pleased with Sprint's service.
I have a part time job and it easily pays for my phone bill every month.
I've had it for 3 months now.

The Blackberry Curve is now out. I've worked with the Curve before,and it's probably one of the best Blackberry's. However,to get one:a whopping 600 dollar upgrade fee for users with a less than a year contract. That isn't pocket change. So here's my question;can I buy the Curve at a local Sprint store for cheaper and have it activated to my SERO plan?Or even buy a Sprint Curve some other source?

Next question;How much is the Blackberry Service Plan a month,that is required for the Blackberry,is it added to Vision Plan that I currently have,or substituted?Will I still have the benefits of a PCS Vision Plan,or accept the meager benefits of a voice plan?

Right now there arent many discounts on curve since it is the new hotness... you have not been with sprint long so I wouldnt get my hopes up but give it a shot, and send a ecare message asking for a price discount...whats the worst that can happen but a no, right??? If they give you something off sell your cutrrent phone to make up some difference since you probably have a 3 month old phone that can get you a nice chunk of change back towards the curve pricing




On sero you still have to add the blackberry plan is my understanding...The plans are 30 and 40

1) Since you've only had Sprint service for 3 months, you don't qualify for any discounts. The Curve with no discounts is $600 to purchase. Since the phone is so new you probably won't be able to find it any cheaper for a while.

2) Once you do get a BlackBerry, it has a special vision plan (including text messages) for $30 / month. I'm not sure how exactly that works with SERO.

Yeah I would recommend sending an email to ecare and see what they say.
