I'd rather not pay full price, so am interested in buying the phone with the rebates for new customers.

The phone doesn't seem to be stocked at any online retailer for new customers - Amazon.com, letstalk.com, even cingular.com

Are they permanently no longer selling this phone for new customers? Or will it just take a while for the fixes to be done so it can be re-released?

I'll either wait for the 220 online, or choose another free phone, buying this phone full price isn't an option.

silver for $99

black tri-band for $.01

Is there a reason why the black tri is so much cheaper?
Is mobilebee reputable?

the one at mobilebee is the MPx 200 not the MPx 220

EDIT: Remember the MPx 220 is a quad band phone...it was NEVER developed as a tri or dual band phone.

Ah, misread. You're right.

The black is a 200 tri.
The silver is a 220 quad.

I was just so giddy with excitement.

Apparently Cingular is carrying the phone, but it has been pulled out of their consumer lineup. Only business or government customers can order it.

Well, with the $99 silver one, I can't seem to get a cingular plan, it only plots up the T-Mobile, which gives it at $249...

Yes, the pricing depends on (a) location (b) your rate level (c) length of your contract (d) your carrier

I think the $99 price is for in NYC, for Cingular, for 39.99 and above plan, 2 year contract.
