    So im going to order an R3 today and was wondering how to go about doing it for the best deal possible. I know alot of people call in but i'm not exactly the best people person when it comes to phones. What exactly should i say/do to make sure that if i call them i'll get a good deal? I'm buying this for the fiance, trying to get the 2720QM, 6970m, and the updated wireless with atleast the 3 year basic service for $2200 USD w/tax, i know it's a long shot but i can live without the warrenty if needed, online i can get is at about 2161 w/tax (and coupn) but no upgraded warrenty.

    Rep have told me and many other people the most they're allowed to take off is $100.

    After that call back the next day and tell them you want to modify an order; They won't let you as your order will be listed as "in production" and then demand a refund.. They'll offer some cash back.

    I got ANOTHER $50 off mine, Not as much as I was expecting but good enough.

    I suggest you read the thread:
