KRZR price drop after Nov. 19??

I received a call today from the local corporate store telling me that they had the KRZR in stock. I was also told, in a hushed voice, that the price would change "quite a bit" after the 19th and might want to wait until then to get it. Does anyone else have any information about this? Thanks.

just a bit..... Don't buy it or sell it unless forced before then. That's all I'm going to say.

I've seen two possible prices. I've read it could be $179.99 after rebates. I've also read where it could be $99.99 after rebates. Who knows? The lower the better, I say. The closer it gets in price to the v3m, the more likely I am to trade in for the KRZR.

when i bought my two krzr's the other day the agent gave them to me for $179.00 each. he said there was an upcoming promotion that hadn't started yet. he said because i had been the 1st one in his store to buy them that they would go ahead and give them to me for that price. this could be the so called "price drop" possibly. 😁

It better drop! I was in best buy and noticed Verizon sells this phone too, but for $99!!
A $179 price is not going to get me to give up my current Moto. I still have my doubts too about the reception with the internal antenna.

The Verizon price is after rebate. The USCC price is before rebate. an 80 buck rebate.

Will the USCC price of the KRZR also be $99 after rebates?

I can neither confirm nor deny anything until the 19th. There are eyes and ears everywhere and they make nasty threats all over the world.

Thanks, any way. I'll just wait and find out. If the KRZR comes down a ways in price to put it closer to what I paid for my RED v3m, I may have to exchange for a KRZR.

Call your dealer, tell him you will be there bright and early on the 20th, and tell him to make sure he has one in stock for you. That's all I'm going to say.

i was talking to the agent that I bough my V3m from and he acted like it would be wrong for me to exchange the new v3m for a KRZR...but I might have to do this because I just learned that the V3m will only play mp3s, and no other music format.

Is that an easy edge rebate of $80? 😕
That won't do it for me untill Easy Edge becomes more reasonable in price. - not more than $5 a month

10 bucks a month for a 80 dollar rebate....that'd be 30 bucks since you only have to have it for 3 months and then you can cancel...your still coming out ahead...

Spend 30 bucks to get 80, I tell all my custies that it takes about 3 months to decide if you would actually use it, or to get the games or ringtones you want. It usually works for those who were thinking maybe.

Take that $30 off the $80 then and the rebate is only $50. I hope the price drop is not dependant on an Easy Edge rebate. And really isn't it decepetive to say there is a $80 rebate when you have to spend at least $30 to qualify for it?

Does anyone know if it costs the store money when someone uses the 30 day guarentee??

No, we get rebated for both phones, and can sell the returned phone to anyone who can't afford the retail price, and still make money on the deal. So don't worry about that!

seems like it would work out for everyone...I just bough a (red) V3m and I must say that it will be hard to pass over the KRZR for the price I hear is coming on the 19th

Does anyone know if the supposed price decrease on the KRZR will take place on Sunday the 19th or Monday the 20th? I want to take advantage right away. Thanks!

It's the 19th, but I'm closed on Sundays, so I always say the next day!

Can I return my Krazr and get my full refund then buy it back at lower price?

no because full retail price wont change, only in-store price.

Actually, there's a 30 day guarantee to that effect, see if you can talk to a manager about that, because it might work out. Talk to an AAE about it.
