I purchased the BlackBerry 8700g from UShop Wireless about 10 days ago for only $99.00. Best feature is the high speed internet. Highly recommend this unit. www.ushopwireless.com

The 8700 is head and shoulders above its predecessors from a web browsing standpoint. I purchased online at www.wirelessbuy.com. They seemed to have the lowest upfront cost I could find. www.wirelessbuy.com
