A Mr. Kyle Albanese tipped us off about the new rebate form which was just slipped onto AT&T’s servers.
Being the geek I am, I knew the Cingular rebate form ended yesterday and low and behold they upload a brand new rebate form including the following new phones:
Tilt
SMT5700
Pantech Duo
Rim 8820
Moto q9
A737
Curve 8310
AT&T Rebate Form [.pdf]
Ilya: that’s “Lo and behold” not “low”.
Meaning
An exclamation, on drawing others attention to something. Used especially to to announce things that are considered startling or important. The phrase is often written with an exclamation mark.
Origin
The word ‘lo’ as used in this phrase is a shortening of ‘look’. So, lo and behold! has the meaning of look! – behold!. Lo in this and its other meaning, which is more akin to O!, has been in use since the first Millennium and appears in the epic poem Beowulf.
Something not very far removed from lo and behold appears in the Bible, Genesis 15:3 (King James Version):
“And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.”
The complete phrase is first recorded in an 1808 letter in the Correspondence 1787–1870, of Queen Victoria’s lady of the bedchamber – Lady Sarah Spencer Lyttelton:
“Hartington… had just told us how hard he had worked all the morning… when, lo and behold! M. Deshayes himself appeared
Ahh I see it, yeah that is a quote from our tipster. Which would explain the big quotes next to the text. Basic grammar :)
Nice they would update the rebate form but, I wish they would release the phone. I guess they just have too many 8525’s to off load first. As a side note they both get the same rebate according to the rebate form posted, so what will be the price differential between the two?
renfru-
you’re an idiot.
why waste our time?
I am 14 years old and love the Magic School Bus. I have a whole bunch of the toys, the videos, and cd roms. I have even met the actress that voices Ms. Frizzle, Lily Tomlin twice. I love her so much that she even kissed me.
I think it should be called a “low bee-hold”…like a some sort of insect wrestling super hold or something…
what is the name of this phone i am very intrested in it?
any bad news about it yet?
I’ve had the “Pantech duo” since the start of September (2008)
And i recommend it.
The keyboard is really great. the setting can get confusing at times but it’s really nice. people told me it feels like cheap plastic; trust me it doesn’t.
The only down part of it is the camera is pixel. Me being a camera ho (figure of speech to anyone who would take it seriously) i looove taking pictures. i have over a thousand pictures on myspace, yet i have like 15 pictures on my phone.
The camera is not that great, but it’s great for texting.
hi how much is it is it £160 pounds
