If you read around, there are some places that are already saying that if you are a current SK2 subscriber, you can purchase the unit "ahead of time", but what is the discount you get? Nothing. You are paying the same as if someone else decided to get a sidekick3, there are no rewards for having a sk2, no benefits. I spent $250 each last year on two SK2s (one for me, one for the deaf parttner) trying to wait until THIS year to renew my contract since T-Mo was being less than open about any kind of information about the sk3, now I find out unless I sign up with a 2 year contract (to get the $300 price) or a 1 year contract (for the $350 tag), i'm not REALLY getting any discount. This is really stupid and now making me consider switching to a blackberry for a measly $100 each with no price change in my plan, forget the SK3, that's way too much. Esp since then I will STILL have an sk2 that i can't do anything with. I don't have that kind of money to waste. Maybe if T-Mo GAVE away some of the SK3s to people who have been using SK2s for over a year instead of to celebrities that are gonna ditch them within a week, it would be fine.
