Better deals before or after holidays?

I'm switching from Verizon after my contract is up on 12/22. I'm wondering if it would be better to switch right away or wait until after the holidays. I'm assuming that any significant new phones will be released in time for Christmas, but that rebates and possibly plans will change on 12/26 or sometime shortly thereafter. Cingular employees, how does this seem to be shaping up? Right now I'm interested in the 6230 with a 600 minute plan and probably a small data/text message package, but I'm the early-adopter type so new equipment can tempt me pretty quickly. Let me know what you think will save me the most cash, especially on the handset. Thanks!

The currrent rate plans that are offered in your local Cingular store will remain until 12-26-04. As of right now, there is no promotional plan. Of course this could change before Christmas, but I doubt it. If things change I would be glad to let the both of you know. If I where you, I would change now, and beat the rush. After Friday it is going to be chaos until Christmas Eve.

How about phone pricing and rebates? Does anyone expect that to change after Christmas? Also, what are the chances that Cingular would get rid of Rollover? That's actually one of the big reasons I want to switch.

After Christmas, yes there could be a change. Like I said, our latest pricing reflects until 12-26. Cingulat would never get rid of rollover as this is one of Cingular's main selling points.Good luck and we look forward having you aboard.

From what I can tell pre holidays we are going to be having alot of free or near free phones to new customers. The more feature laden phones unfortunately will not be showing up till right before Xmas (in limited quatities) or 1st quarter of 2005.
