Hi,

Just thinking. Noticed the new deals that started this month are not any different from deals occasionally offered. However this time the phones must be bought in-store, you can't get them online. I figure they are trying to run down inventory before they introduce new handsets. Thoughts?

They're always bringing in new phones and services. Not nearly as quickly as much as some postpaid carriers, but still pretty good for a prepaid. Look at how much has changed within the last year itself, (with online purchases, etc)

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe the phones offered have changed since at least last Christmas; especially at the low-end.

The Nokia 2720 is the oldest phone in the line up, been there for 2 1/2 years. The 2220 probably the newest, round a little over a year. Not the quickest stock turnaround, but it does happen.

Now I see that there are only 2 phones offered on the website (Nokia 1616 and C3). They must be adding new phones soon.
