So I returned the MPx220 a few weeks ago deciding that $1000 was too much for 2 phones and I would wait until the good days were back of a $50 MPx220. I thought it would surely be now, the week before Christmas but low and behold the rebates are still stuck at $150 off the phone with a 2-year contract. Lame. The other concern is that the rebate only applies to 1 of the 2 phones if I sign up for the family plan. We will see how the day after Chirstmas goes but at this rate I may have to settle for paying too much for the phone and getting two separate lines. I now have a case for the phone so what next?

About
- For new comers who haven’t read my stuff before, welcome. I am a technology and gadget addict with a 20+ year background in computers and networking. I have been developing in VB.NET officially for about 5 years and dabbled in automation languages (Perl, PHP, vbscript, etc.) previous to that. I have served several tours of duty on various help desks and even a telephone support role for a PC Manufacturer. I am now the network manager for a local school district and enjoying the change of pace from technical to managerial. I have several articles published with Novel Cool Solutions and love to write technical reviews and walkthroughs. I am an avid Linux user for solutions like MythTV, Asterisk and other appliance type solutions. I am also experienced in Windows since 3.11 and have 3 Windows 2003 Servers as well. I run hosted Exchange 2003 for a few clients as well as web sites. For the last several years I have been the director of product development for an unstructured text analytics start-up. After losing funding in that venture I was filling the days doing private consulting on a variety of support and implementation roles as well as some custom data portal development in the telecom damage recovery area for data collection. I also did several SharePoint implementations and continue to support the efforts of the start-up.
