I bought two Treo 800w from telesales today and I tried to lead the sales associate to provide me with additional incentives to purchase the phones. She never got my clues, so once I was approved I just asked that I was still thinking about getting iPhones at $199 each and was there any additonal discounts available. She said she would ask her supervisor put me on hold for 25 sec. and came back with a $50 credit to each line once billing started. So I paid $349 x 2 and I will receive $200 mail in rebates and $100 service credit. So when all is said and done I will have paid $400 total plus $12 s/h. Oh yeah ask to have the activation fees removed bring up if you were to purchase online they waive the activation fees (some people have said that this didn't work for them). There was no hard negotiating I just had to ask for additional. Although to get these results you should probably act while the new iPhone frenzy is fresh.
