With Verizon's 2 for 1's, it's hard to get cheaper. Breaking the sub-$100, sub-$50 market will certainly help sell this device in bucket loads.

This is for T-Mobile though.. Did you mean if Verizon were to ever get this one?

And I just thought of something... I wonder how well built (or not well built) this new BB is if they're selling it for so cheap. I wonder how much each one costs to make..

I doubt it is all that expensive to make. They are probably looking for some sort of budget market that would like to have a BlackBerry, but have the idea that they all all expensive, and who are not fans of the Pearl. I am sure that RIM is making money off the Storm and Bold, the ones that RIM is pushing hard now.
