I just called Verizon at 800-485-1997 and ordered the i730 for $384. I did not have an account or service w/Verizon and only activated 1 line! You press option 1, then tell whoever answers what state you're calling from. Then they transfer you.

At first, the agent said that they didn't have it, then I told him that it had been released for B2B today and lo and behold, he found it in his database@ He initially said it was $484 w/a 2 year and $534 w/1 year. Then I told him that I thought there was a $100 discount if you get a data plan w/this phone. At first he said "No," then he checked w/his business department and came back and said I was right -- if you get the unlimited data plan at $44.99 a month you get a $100 discount, bringing it t...

Sprint currently has EVDO rolled out in about 14 markets starting at the major airports and Sprint anticipates having EVDO deployed in all 31 markets Verizon has already announced, plus an additional 16 markets by the end of 2005. So.... what do you mean by "not anytime soon"?
