I was promised free touch pro

[jsgeezie]

my touch pro is arriving later on this day :roooox::roooox::alcohol:.. but my homie called retention a few times and they weren't budging and he has the mogul and what basically got them to budge was the last time he calculated how much money they would have been loosing if he left when it pertained to the cost of ending his service. it was like 1500 compared to 200 or something like that... lol.. they started to talk after that... YA DIG.. THEY WANT THAT MONEY!!!!! lol :Laie_41mini:

custom rom at first than do a search for touch pro* essentials and you will find some of what you are looking for.... be original and make it your own since everyone has a different style to modding based on their uses.

yeah i called retentions as well and they werent budging for me, i have had so many freex=zing and locking up problems for my touchits ridiculous, i am currently about to be on my 4th touch if they send me a new one. i explained everything wrong with it including some of the coorporate service that was terrible when i went. they erased all my contacts and i am experiencing more problems since they took in in the back. good thing is that i talked to a rep in advanced tech support and she noted my account for a swap device, me and her talked about the pro, and in the notes it says keyboarded device. and her manager was supposd to call back to finalize the swap cuz at the time the stores were closed, never got the call back and i still have no new tp or new phone. any solutions to my problem because i would really love to get a tp free of charge or atleast a heck of a deal

Finally I am getting a Touch Pro when they come back in stock! Which is taking FOREVER apparently.. ???? (weeks? wtf)
ok anyways

I havent been on the Forum much.. If you must you can read my long winded but ironically short winded in comparison to what really happend about what happened to my computer and not having a working OS for a couple days..

he got his for 75 bucks and got to keep his vogue.... not a bad deal and they do give discounts below the 2 year price even though they say that they dont.

hey. so i didn't want to do any talking with retentions or anything like that. is there a way that i can mess up my phone so i can use the insurance to try and upgrade or so i can take it to a sprint store and they not be able to fix it? i did something like that before where i got my bluetooth light to stay on and it wouldn't turn off and they couldn't do anything about it either. anybody know if there is something like that i can try?

umm if you do anything b sure to flash everything back to stock cause if you don't and take it in with a custom rom your screwed, and they probably will only upgrade you to the touch anyways with the pro being backordered an all...

yeah thats what i did the first time. messed it up then flashed the stock rom again and took it to the store. they gave me a brand new mogul. i just don't know how to do something like that again. everything i try i can undo with a hard or soft reset. i just need to know if there is something known that i can try to do or if i should just keep playing around till i break something.

yeah i read the posts. i just wanted to know if anybody else found a more mechanical way of doing this rather than luck with a sprint rep. i'm open to PM's with suggestions of stuff to try. Thanks.

so I got this from ppcgeeks but they tried taking the battery out and then 2-3 seconds in the microwave. said that it frys the phone. I think i will try this out tomorrow or monday or something and see if i can get them to upgrade me to the touch pro.

i heard good news from them. About 3-4 people tried it and they said it worked out ok and that sprint took the phone back and got them a new one. they said just to make sure that its not longer than 2-3 seconds. i don't think i have privileges to post links but i have to webpage still up if anybody needed reference to it.
