cause.

Yeah well I walked over to Verizon the yesterday told them about my plan at Sprint and asked about TP2. Asked they guy to hook me up he offer me TP2 for 150. I am think about taking his offer too lol.... since i could probably sell my pro for at least 100. And my bill would be less a month.

Yeah so much so that I walk over to the Mall on lunch where there is a verizon store and talked to sales person. Told him that if he hooked me up on price I would mod out his phone lmao. It took him like 5 mins with my phone before he smiled and said lets see what i can do for you lol !!!!!

[PsyChoTk]

Well, glad its not me having all the "issues" with $print. I'm glad I got a contact high up enough to get the phones cheaper. I really don't understand why $print doesn't come down on the price. I know it's been talked about a lot about the phone being $123, 822, 928.89 in an economy that's almost tanked. I'm also pissed about being with $print since 2002 and getting shafted too. I got one more year on one of my lines and I'm going to evaluate Verizon. I started researching already and for me I'll loose 900 minutes and pay $6.00 more a month. But it might be worth it to have better CS.

Honestly, after about 5 years with early Sprint, 6 years with VZW, and now 18 months back with Sprint, I don't think there's too much difference in CS. My problem right now is the plan stuff. To get close to what got me to switch to Sprint would cost about $40-50 more a month. Definitely not worth that.

Sounds great Bro. I might have to dip into those waters, but not just yet. I do have a contact with a specific Sprint retention person who has always helped me in the past by getting around many different obstacles, so that's probably the avenue I need to go 1st. I know just need to decide if I want to upgrade. Decisions, decisions.

Here is my email to prove it bro

Dear Mr Velasquez,

Thank you for your reply.

You will get the new handset (HTC Touch PRO 2) at the online price of
$349.99 (after the eligible rebate of $150.00 and the mail in rebate of
$100.00). This offer is only available for a new line of activation or
eligible rebate of $150.00 with a new 2 years contract.

We have offered the additional credit of $100.00 for each phone
(609-9 and 609-) in the last interaction. So finally
this handset will cost you $249.99 (349.99-$100.00).

It is not possible to combine the handset upgrade offer with the
contract renewal offer. You will only get the above offer on a new
handset.

Thank you again for contacting Sprint. We appreciate your business with
us.

Sincerely,
Marsha V.

I'm definitely going to try and see if I can get it for abt $200-250 max. I've been with Nextel/Sprint for almost 8yrs. My contract is up in Nov. so I'm going to get an early start, and see what they'll give me. I'm going to try and sell them on the fact that I'm willing to change my plan...lol Wish Me LUCK!!

good luck and with that under your belt you should be good...... best wishes and have fun talking to about 6 different people in the process hahaha

[jr5416]

I tried and havent had any luck gonna try again on the 1st see if u get lucky so far ive got my $100 credit and they waived my activation

[yellows2k]

After checking out my friend's T-mobile TP2, I figure I would try to get Sprint to match Verizon's price. I also sent them an email and all I could get was $100 credit.
So....Reg Price $599
Instant Saving -$150
Mail In Rebate -$100
Credit -$100
New Price $249

So I emailed them back that I would think about it. The next day Sprint E-care called me and told me that if I renewed my 2yr contract I would get an additional $70 credit. So I ordered my TP2. Then I put my TP on craigslist for $150, just wanted a quick sell, and it was sold in 10 mins.
So.... $249
Renewal Credit -$70
Sold TP -$150
Total Cost of TP2 $29
Not to bad for upgrading to the TP2.

[gbogart100]

I read on PPC Geeks and wmpoweruser that there might be a price drop to $199 tomorrow!! If this is true, then look out ebay lol here I come.

yes it is true with a new contrasct signed.... ebay process will oly go down around 25-40 bucks max in my opinion since not everyone wants to sign a new 2 year agreement.

I agree, but after $40 and another 8% from live search and if I can sell my pro for a decent price it might not hurt my pocketbook as much. I'm gonna wait until that overdue unlocker comes out first before I put my money where my mouth is. I might even go for the hero and try my hand at android...

[rwcj63]

i just checked on the Sprint website and the price hasn't changed. However, i also looked on the Business version of the Sprint website and the price HAD changed. i was furious. i immediatly emailed our company rep (we have Sprint where i work) and she told me that her understanding is that the change was only for Business customers. I told her that i had never heard of there being such a large price difference between the two and she agreed but didn't have any additional info for me. I told her i was just call retentions and talk to them.
