Okay but was that for an included 2-year contract? I had a 1-yr
contract and no phone since I was using this new i830 this guy had.
What would you think would be a reasonably accurate cost for this
model when it came out?

I believe he must have just googled the phone, saw that it's price
ranged from $149 to $349 when it came out, the price depending on the
deal and terms of contract negotiated with the carrier, and just gave
me the highest price because ... well.... because he's that way. I've
requested a copy of the original receipt but I sincerely doubt that he
has it at this point. I guess I'll have no choice but to pay his
outrageous price if there's no documentation showing otherwise, though
I would think Nextel/Sprint would have some record of this, even going
back 3 years...right? BTW, this sitch is complicated because I'm
friends with his wife and I don't want to lose her friendship over
this. But neither do I want to get price gouged. I just want to pay
the actual cost that he paid for the phone.
