I posted this in the Bluetooth Phone compatibility thread, but figured I would post it here as well...

Amazon.com has this for $189 (after $200 in rebates) for new Cingular subsribers...you should be able to port your existing number if you are not a current Cingular user...

This is the cheapest I have seen this phone...

need to sign a 2 year contract though...

 

You aren't eligible for the Amazon rebates if you have your number ported to Cingular. See http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...965853-7268825

 

bummer...good catch on that...

 

Bimmer88, sells RAZR for free with family plan. He's on this forum;

My co-worker has the Razr, it's very sleek but it's kind of wide for a cell phone.

I still prefer my Treo 650 though, you need a keyboad to do mobile messaging. :-)

 

FYI, there is a site called http://www.intelenetwireless.com/ that also sells phones on discount. But be aware that you get the rebates only after 2-3 months of active service. I think that how they ensure that you are not going to take the phone and rebates and cancel the service.

 

Whatever the cost, the Razr is one hell of a phone. I've had more phones than I like to think about, and the Razr is the only phone that works in my basement. Every other phone wouldn't hold a call or even ring in the basement, but somehow even with it's built in antenna, the Razr manages to work fine in the basement. I've tried different bands, different type phones, carriers etc., and nothing would work. The first day I had the Razr, I was amazed to be able to make and receive calls in my basement.

 

Before I bought the RAZR I had researched a lot and found out that most who bought from Intelenetwireless never got their rebates even after completing all the requirements.

 

It is wide for a cell phone, but it is so slim you really don't notice it. Many of times I'd to the pat down (pants/jacket) and not feel it and be like, oh crap I lost my phone!! But after a closer check it's there. Definetly an awesome phone.

As for the mobile messaging I totally agree....that's my only issue, so I ended up getting a Blackberry 7290 and swapping SIM cards. 2 very different phones, but both awesome in their own way.

 

These are the specs for both;

RAZR: 3.86" x 2.09" x 0.54" (98mm x 53mm x 14mm)

TReo 650: 4.40" x 2.30" x 0.90"(112mm x 58mm x 23mm)

How is it wider?
