Ok, thanks for your replies.
The rep gave me a recommendation to wait a few months before purchasing the 8830, she said just to make sure there aren't any problems (I guess the Palm's had some sort of issue) and that the prices would likely come down in a few months. However, I don't know if I can wait that long
I pay over a $110 / mo and would only get a $250 discount if I resign for 3 years
