There are two major, authorized, online cell phone retailers, LetsTalk and WireFly. Both are reputable and safe to order your new phone through.

Both of these stores offer much better deals than you would find at the carrier's own websites and stores. The savings will be in the up front costs, as the monthly price of the cell phone plan will be the same no matter where you purchase it from.

The BlackBerry Curve 8530 Violet is Free with the purchase of a new Verizon plan at WireFly, and Free with $100 cash back at LetsTalk.

The LetsTalk cash back rebate is a mail in rebate with specific requirements. Definitely go for it - it's good money! But be sure to read the rebate details, save the required proof of purchase stuff, and mark your calendar so you remember to send the rebate in.

And... Dinner's On Me!
