This isnt an add or want to buy. This is more of a curiosity question. I already have a v60i. I was watching tv and i saw a commercial for the v300 for 24 dollars. Is that if you sign up? If i were to buy it would i be able to get it for the 24 bucks as an already subscriber? Or must i pay the whole price of the phone? I find this cell phone stuff very confusing.

Its on a 2 year contract. And probably a mail in rebate.

BladeX

which cell subscriber did u see it advertised for?? rogers or fido?

cuz at $24 for 2 year is VERY cheap, i would sign up, cancell the contract and pay $200 sell the phone for like $350 and profit that extra $150, so please tell me where


and if you were to sign up you would have to get a new number, a new plan.

the rebate for the phone usually comes in the form of a credit for your cell phone account not in a cheque that you can cash for money...they do this so people dont do what BladeX wanna do...and the rebate usually takes 2 months to be processed

i never saw a commercial for 24 dollars... that's really damn cheap.. the cheapest i've seen is 150.. which is what I paid!!

Cynikal.Mindset

the c370 is 24.99 from rogers not the v300 thats 199 at the present moment

GinoLicious

Yeah i was watching tv and they said get any one of these 3 coloured screeen pyones for 24$.

GinoLicious

Oh yeah before i forget it was with rodgers i believe.

BladeX

hmm its really cheap and even after rebate...if your a new subscriber or your contract has just ended this is a really great deal, the phone alone is worth about $400 if you were to sell it brand new

but the phone i heard alot of people sending it back to rogers or motorola alot and getting new ones in return because they get dead pixels on the screen, and some other problems i dont know

Cynikal.Mindset

I believe rogers says get any one of these 3 colour phones starting at 24bucks...thats how they get u in the store! cuz the website still says its 200bucks after rebate

GinoLicious

^^ You may have a point there, then i guess.

The V300 is very cool...

GinoLicious

^^ Cource it is. It is such a nice phone. But i aint gonna go out and pay 300 for it. Damnit.

if you like the v300, just wait for the v600 to hit rogers in the next 2 to 3 weeks!!

That v600 is so nice. But so expensive.

BladeX

the v600 goes for 1k if you buy it from stores

go on howardforums alot of people selling mint ones for like $600-700

yeah if anyone had the time they can sue rogers for false advertising, bait n switch maybe

GinoLicious

1k for a cell phone. ****. That is a lot. I will stick with my non camera non colour screen v60i.

ddp0109

haha yea i know its quite expensive..but really nice..i hope ill be able to have one soon...not paying 1k for it though...anyone wanna do a group buy? i know a dealer in vegas..well my cousin does...hmm maybe this should be in the Group Buy section..duh well..just testing waters on the topic!

cibs

i was gonna wait for the v600 but then i saw the price tag, and decided i'd settle with the v300... meh.. i like phones but i'm not rich!

For those of you who just got the v300, how's the reception? Any problems w/ dropped calls and such as with older motorola phones (esp. v60).

I'm still on a Nokia 8260 (can the laughing folks ) and it still has better receptions than lots of GSM phones, do you think the v300 would be better?
