Samsung i760... did the price go up?

I went to a local Verizon store and they said the MSRP is $450. Since I only want WIFI and I'm elig for NE2, I'd have to pay $350+tax and send in a $50MIR. Last month I went in and it was $350 less the $100 for NE2 so $250+tax and then I'd send in the $50 MIR. Am I missing something? The dude last month said I could do the data plan and cancel after one month and save another $55 ($100MIR-$45 for one months service). That goes against everything I've read about having to stick with it 6 months. He said he never heard of that 6 month requirement... makes me think he's a tool.
What's the cheapest way to get the i760?
BTW, I seem to get the consensus that the i760 is better than the 6800 because they basically do the same thing but the i...

my vote would be the 6800... feels like a better phone

Have you used it? There's no doubt the 6800 is bigger... I've just read the i760 is more practical.
Anybody else care to comment?

It's all opinion. The best thing you can do is go into the store and play around with both of them. I had the samsung i730 and i LOVED it until I dropped it and it stopped working right. It was a great phone and I can't imagine the i760 being a bad phone. I also had the xv6700 and hated it. Lasted a few days and it was gone. They both have the same windows mobile 6 os. Play with them and decide on your own merit. But if you want an opinion take a look at the touch as well. I just purchased it and love it.

Thanks. I don't think the Touch has wifi, though... does it? Just out of curiousity... what do you think of it in white?

Nope no wi-fi on the touch. But I have the data plan so I'm ok with that. I think it looks classy and I guess I'm not as picky as other people. As long as its not pink or anything. I think you have made up your mind of what you want in a phone. My vote is for the i760

I did exactly as you've described, including the 1 month data plan. The rep recommended it when I told him I wanted only the pay plan. And he set it up to cancel a day or so after the month.

What price did you pay for the phone? They didn't charge you $100 extra on your next bill? That's awesome if it worked 😁.

~ $300, just mailed in the rebate so it should be $250.
