We're onto you, Wally World. Granted, you already confessed that you'd be dishing out a deal a week until sometime in the future, but hey, we'll feign surprise without thinking twice. Next week's bargain is a good one for those in the market for one of RIM's handsets, as Walmart shoppers will be given a $100 gift card (to Walmart, obviously) if they purchase practically any BlackBerry phone on a 2-year contract from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile or Verizon Wireless. The offer begins at 8AM local time this Saturday and runs through November 20th, and if you're looking to see exactly which handsets are included in the deal, have a look past the break. - AT&T Curve 8310
- AT&T Bold 9000
- Sprint Curve 8330 (Red & Titanium colors)
- T-Mobile 8520 (Black, White, and Frost)
- T-Mobile Pearl 8120 (Emerald)
- Verizon Storm
- Verizon Storm II
Does this include upgrades??
wow! so if you need blackberry + internet service anyway, you're effectively getting paid 100 for a bold. nice.
Wow.
Those Sprint customers really have something to be excited about. hah
yes, i work there and the price is good for 2 year upgrades on contract.
yeh but all of these minus the Storm 2 are basically just old stock, not the newest BB's out, thats why theyre $100 off.
ATT 9000 replaced by the 9700
same with Tmo
VZW and Sprint have the Tour and VZW has the Storm 2, the only new phone on the list
Too bad this requires a contract. I'd like to buy one for full price, get my $100 back, and not have to mess with any contract.
actually....you can buy it outright, no contract, but not for the discounted/carrier subsidized price. and still get the gift card...and the original post did not list ALL the phones on this promotion...the 9700 "Onyx" Bold 2 is also a part of the promotion. There is a blurb there about the 8530 as well, not sure which carrier version.
What EngadgetMobile characteristically leaves out is that the $100 is delivered as an e-Card in 4-6 weeks. Only good for online purchases.
Says who? That's what everyone was saying about the Xbox until they were all wrong and we got regular gift cards in-store.
Yo mark, get your head out your ass and read the article. It's perfectly clear that they specify e-Cards delivered in 4-6 weeks.
