I’ve never purchased a phone from an online retailer before, so I’m a bit skeptical of this screaming deal over at Letstalk, but if $300 is too steep a price to pay for the Bold (review) then you’d be out of your mind not to scoop this up. The starting price on Letstalk is $100 cheaper than AT&T and they’re even offering free shipping.
With any MIR, you have to abide by the specific rules or you get screwed, but like I said, you’re still paying a $100 less than you would if you purchased through AT&T. You won’t actually see the $200 rebate for 8 to 10 weeks assuming you don’t break your contract of sticking with AT&T for two years. This offer is only valid for new lines and your monthly plan has to be more than $60.
They’re even offering the Bold as an upgrade for $150 with a contract extension or for $250 without the contract extension.
Anyway, here’s the terms and conditions for the $200 MIR.
