So, today is bittersweet. My new 8900 just arrived from T-Mo, and that makes me happy!
There was a surprise in the box: Apparently, T-Mobile is no longer sending rebate checks....it is sending debit visa cards. This makes me pretty angry. The whole rebate thing is a scam. You aren't actually going to get that $100 rebate to put back into the bank to pay the bill, you actually only get money that you must spend somewhere else. So, the whole $299-100=199 is not true. It is really: spend $299 and you get $100 that you can't use toward the price of the phone, you must go and spend it elsewhere. I can't wait until someone files a class action suit.
