I saw the same thing. Basically all the "hot" phones are still the same price but you have to do the $100 debit card (I had to do this last time I got a smart phone and got the debit card in 4 weeks which isn't bad) instead of an instant rebate. If this is true I will probably go into a store and get my next smart phone since you have to do the rebate versus getting it online versus in store.

was disussing this with a guy at work and this came up
when you do a mail in rebate you have to cut something off the box
but if you do this and need to return for some reason you cant
never had to return, so not 100% sure on this
just something to think about

I bought my Eris almost a year ago and there was no "instant" rebate. I got a $100 gift card after sending in the receipt, UPC from box, etc, etc. I *think* I may gotten a discount for buying online... My wife, the impatient one, had to get her phone in the store. She didn't get the discount but it qualified for the same $100 gift card "rebate".
