hey all...
i actually went down to a sprint store yesterday to do 2 things. 1) get a new back cover for my sprint phone, and 2) see if they would switch me out into a new (or refurb) 6700 as i have done before. i have insurance so swaps have not cost me anything.
the issue with my 6700 is that the usb charger is just not doing its job, its loose or something and i cant even activesinc now. the woman helping me didnt find an issue at first but after some convincing she was like ok. well we dont have anymore 6700's to switch you into, but i can get you into a treo 700wx. i was like hecks now...she was like well it is the only phone remotely comparable to the 6700 and said that it really doesnt equal it. then, out of the blue she says "well i could switch you into the 6800 when it comes out at the end of the month, but you would have to wait". i acted as if i had no idea what the 6800 was and said "oh really, whats the 6800????
) she then explained to me what it was and "convinced" me to wait for it. she said that she should have them fully in stores by about july 18th. i was like ok, i guess i could wait for it..... she then told me to just charge it in the cradle and be patient...and that i would be able to swap into a 6800 when they have them in the store, NICE!!!
so from the tech/rep who was assisting me (who happened to be very cute might i add), i believe that it is possible to swap from 6700 to 6800 and i plan on waiting to get mine. just under 2 months of waiting wont hurt me, especially for a snazzy new 6800.
