Sprint HTC Touch Pro online order date - Wckediden

ORK1NM4N · #1 10-08-2008, 08:50 PM

I know the Diamond was available to order online before it came out but, does anyone know the exact date on when the touch pro will be available to order online on the website? I know its coming out the 19th but, will you be able to order the phone before then?

i was wondering the same but if i order online will it be over night also, and should i call the sprint up the street from me or what, and also if i order online will it go on my bill or do i pay when i order because i want to make sure i have my money in my account when i go to order

If you have a non spending limit acct and your in good standing they will. They just did for me. However they charge me the price of phone but I get that price credited soon as they get my touch back.....Hence I paid nothing.
If you have a spending limit only acct services can make it happen. But beware it can put you over your limit

ORK1NM4N · #5 10-11-2008, 01:36 PM

By upgrading your phone online, you can get free shipping and activation. Requires a plan in good standing of $34.99/mo. or higher, and a 1- or 2-yr. contract. If you order through the phone or go to the store they are gonna charge extra fees etc....That is what they are saying online I don't feel like going and waiting in line and getting charged extra crap. Also if your a govt employee you get an extra $50 bucks off the phone. So its the same price as the diamond.

I just called the "800" # in my local Phone Book (Salem Oregon) and asked when the Touch Pro would be available. They said it would be Nov 2nd. They asked if I wanted a call back when the phone became available to order and I said "sure". Then they asked if I was currently a Sprint customer and I told them that I am not as I am currently with Verizon yet my contract is up and I am just waiting for this phone to come out before I make the switch. The woman then asked if I wanted to get my credit checked so as to pre-approve me so when the phone was available they would call and get the account set up and ship the phone next-day air. So I am all set - she even told me if the phone release date gets moved closer that she would call the day before release so I could have it by release day! Woot I am soooooo Stoked!!

congrats but i will tell you one thing though.... call back and make sure the notes were added to your accoutn.. sprint is known for saying things to make you happy and than having no trace of it ever being said even though it was supposed to be in your notes........ hope all goes well and tell us if they added it to your notes when you find out :>

Balastrea · #9 10-12-2008, 07:41 PM

Thank you and I will let you know how it goes. I plan to just keep watching their site and other places until I can find more info on an actual release date and then call them back if I don't hear anything. I am totally Jonesing for this phone and have been for about 5 months now. I was going to just buy the Mogul but when I saw this one just around the corner I thought I better wait. From all that I have read this really does seem like a sweet phone!

BiG JeW · #10 10-12-2008, 07:45 PM

FYI!! Dont be surpsried if the 19 strolls around and there is no TOUCH PRO.... word round here is its getting pushed back!

yup i just looked into my datatbase here at work and it states that it will most -likely be pushed back to the second of november......

Balastrea · #12 10-12-2008, 07:50 PM

Yea - 2nd of Nov is what I heard last. I was just hoping for a miracle that it would be sooner rather than later lol - Crap well I guess I wait then - what else can I do.

yeah the way it looks they got he camera bug fixed and have to reflash all the phones with the added patch in the rom.......... so the second should be the final day :>

and trust me bro the phoen is everythign that you have heard it is bad ass and a dream to be the owner it..... im really digging the VG outlet on it :> and for those that need to know yes it does come with the VGA cord already included :>

mikewhooo · #14 10-12-2008, 09:53 PM

then why are the dummys at sprint telling my the 19th still? i get to keep my diamond until it comes out though

BiG JeW · #15 10-12-2008, 09:55 PM

well sprint knows a lot of people that got the diamond would change them for the PRO what it was released. The end of life date for the mogul even got pushed back, as well as the touch.

(even though they sign my check hahah)

Balastrea · #17 10-12-2008, 10:56 PM

Well I for one appreciate you guys and all the info you have access to! I cant tell you how freakin excited I am to get my hands on the Pro. It will be the first smart phone I have ever owned! I can't wait to put some themes on it and figure out how to do my own maybe.

the worst part is that it looks AT&T is going to drop on the 23rd of the month...... this would really hurt sprint and thats not a lie..... so that might get their asses in motion i hope :> oh yeah and the AT%T release dates are pretty much official because they never delay the release from the day the expected

Balastrea · #21 10-12-2008, 11:50 PM

HaHa Ork - Me TOO Me TOO and Im hatin it now - D/\sh you are way up on me though - you got the know how Im just a droolin ppc noob wanna be lol

atm I am stuck with the LG VX9800 that doesnt even have web nor email - Verizon is way to spendy on their data/web/email/gps plans.

ORK1NM4N · #22 10-13-2008, 12:12 AM

Man I don't want to wait! Was countin down the days only had a Weak(19th)! Dang Nov 2??!?!.....Well if anyone knows any other info on delays or release information let me know..

hahahahaha sounds like something a virgin would be thinking :>

see how that fits perfectly :>

Im glad that Wckediden could help in popping your cherry :>

Balastrea · #24 10-13-2008, 03:19 AM

Wow - if AT&T beats Sprint to it I am going to guess they will loose a lot of customers! I thought they were going to have the pro exclusive to them for at least 6 months. I did find an article confirming AT&T to release the "Fuse" on the 23rd of Oct. And the specs showed that the Fuze was going to be able to use up to 32g Micro SD card! Whats up with that? From what I have read the Pro will go up to 16G.

Pumajonson · #32 10-17-2008, 12:11 AM

Its about 8 pm (California) just got off the phone with Sprint and they confirmed with 3 different sources that it will in fact be released on the 19th...... hope its true!!!!!!! :Alvarin_02:

Balastrea · #33 10-17-2008, 12:58 AM

I called em again today *Oct 16th* (I know - Im obsessed!) and they told me it was the 19th too but Im not going to hold my breath - Ive been all over the net and seems there are different dates all over. Ive even been told by different Sprint employees different dates. The 19th would be fine with me however - The sooner the better! I am a freakin mess jonesning over this one lol!

Fatal_Error · #34 10-17-2008, 01:03 AM

Sweet thank you - Guess I will be getting up @ 4am then PST time lol - but I just read Pumajonson's post and followed the link and I am getting worried all over again - seems a little odd that they are going to send it out to other companies before they even stock it - even whacked I would say lol - either way Im still setting my alarm and will be calling Sprint the 19th!

Just telesales? What about online? When you order through the telephone do you get charged an activation fee as well?

Balastrea · #46 10-18-2008, 05:43 PM

So whats the deal with Sprint shipping these to other retailers like Best Buy before they even stock em?? I have allready had Sprint approve me and so now if Best Buy gets em first then they will have to run yet another credit check. I would think that the online Sprint store would be the first place to check but now who knows eh?

yeah for sure bro it might still happen on the 19th especially since my boss just called me minutes ago while i was on the can and its changed the 19th again only for online telesales at 7am eastern time..... damn i love the way that sprint works and i have this weekend off so i cant do my research on work computer unless my boss will allow me to remote access into it........ going to give him a call and see if i can guide him to the information so i can remote access :smile:

Balastrea · #50 10-18-2008, 06:00 PM

Sweet - well keep us posted as I am sure I am not the only one here going freakin crazy for any new news on this puppy. My wife is about ready to kill me at this point and just wants the wait to be over too lol
