i wouldn't get so excited, its not activated yet and i bet it changes then. see they want money so they let you order then time to activate and all hell breaks loose.

well its supposed to work fine on sero-p so hopefully it does.
its $30 sero and legacy plan people who really want this to work for them (and it won't unfortunately).

well, i was assured by the rep...i even requested that she confirm with a supervisor. according to her, most smartphones are fine with SERO-P now...apparently Sprint changed their policy on Android and webOS phones on SERO plans sometime time this past fall...only the EVO and EPIC have +$10 charge.....sucks for the people who jumped to an "Everything" plan for the EVO early....

FYI, the rep i spoke to was Melanie Bush at 888-882-4030(Employee Plan Telesales).

Sero P ($40) works fine with all flagship phones, this is well documented already. If you needed. If you need to activate a 4G phone it is another $10 making it $50.

I activated 2 new Arrives on my account on Sero Premium earlier today with no problems. I even got a print out from the store showing my plan after the change and it still showing Sero P for $40

Sero Premium $40 as well. Had to put up a bit of a fight; regular customer care staff weren't able to figure it out.

well, got my phone and activated it last night...no plan change needed to activate...SERO Premium still fully intact.

I might get this phone down the road ...

So you just call Telesales and you can get the phone for $199?

I only have basic $30 SERO and my 2 yr contract is almost over.

I can also confirm HTC Arrive on SERO. I had $30 SERO and they changed me to $40 SERO Premium. With the SERO Premium, they told me that I now get Sprint TV, Navigation and Any Mobile, Any Carrier, Any time for free.

I went into the store to purchase. While at the store, the sales woman couldn't touch my account so she had me call *2 on my personal phone, tell them that I am in the store upgrading to the Arrive and the lady on the phone walked me through it. After the call the local sales woman added the Arrive to my account.

Took about 15 minutes for everything.

When it came to my contacts, since my TP2 was "rooted" with MightyROM they wouldn't transfer my contacts. I used PIMBackup to export my contacts to csv, import to Outlook, did a few cleanup duties in outlook, export to csv again, import to HOTMAIL contacts and then sync'd my phone to hotmail. That took another 15 mins simply due to the outlook cleanup duties.

**EDIT**
One other item, I was able to have them pricematch to amazon (after rebate) so it was $250 out the door and then the $100 mail in rebate will take it to $150. Not necessarily a slick deal but I feel good about it.
