I researched about them as much as I could by reading reviews, reading all of the terms on the rebates. I read and heard they use sneaky tactics to try to make you lose out on the rebate -- not worth the aggravation is basically the short of it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[M]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2008 9:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Blackberry Bold shows up for free on contract at Walmart]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/11/04/blackberry-bold-shows-up-for-free-on-contract-at-walmart/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/11/04/blackberry-bold-shows-up-for-free-on-contract-at-walmart/</guid><description><![CDATA[It looks as though the plans that are required are far more expensive than the basic plans you're able to get.

For 1350 minutes unlimited texting AND unlimited web/email. If your not spending that already on a BlackBerry, you really should think about switching phones.

So it will get cheaper quick.  I ordered my Pearl with them, and other than the Pearls issues, no problems with wirefly.

It's $299.99 with a $100 mail in rebate... RIP OFF, and the plans are way more expensive! This is all BS, just wait a few months and it will be cheaper!

If you only have to do that for 4 months, then you still save 100 with letstalk.<br><br>I've never had a smartphone, but need one for work now.  I want the bold.  Can someone tell me why this wouldn't be a better deal than going through att or wirefly?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[George]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 12th 2008 9:51AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
