BlackBerry Tour Available for Pre-Order from WireFly: New Customers $179.99; Existing Customers $199.99
I just came across this thread in the CrackBerry Forums tonight that’s getting some interest from folks looking to pick-up the BlackBerry Tour from Verizon. Wirefly, who by the sounds of it sells a ton of devices for Verizon, put the BlackBerry Tour up for pre-order today. For new customers the price is $179.99 — $20 cheaper than Verizon’s direct price — while existing Verizon customers can upgrade to the Tour for $199.99. Looking at the forum thread, the $199.99 upgrade price is where a lot of excitement seems to lie. If you’re already a Verizon customer but are not elgible for an upgrade , you’d be looking at a price of $489.99 to buy the Tour for month to month use. So long as you don’t mind being on contract and Wirefly’s terms (be sure to read the details and check the forum conversation), then picking up the Tour for $199.99 represents upfront saving of nearly $300.

You are suggesting that a current customer could cancel with Verizon Wireless, pay the early termination fee, then sign up for a new account via Wirefly to get the BlackBerry Tour deal, but you haven’t read the terms and conditions on the Wirefly checkout page. This is explicitly listed as something that would trigger an addition $300 charge:
