Sprint has the supply, but if the demand is not buying the phone they will be forced to sell it at a lower cost, or perhaps offer the rebate as instant. I mean really does HTC offer the rebate or does Sprint? I think Sprint does. So let's see if we can get this to spread like wild fires (no pun intended here for my so cal friends). Let's see if we can get this on digg and all the social network mediums.

I for one will commit to not buying this phone as much as I want it.

So who is with me here?

Can you wait until I pick mine up before you start the revolt.. i have waited long enough...lol

Re: TP2 Revolt against Sprint!

Yes the TP2 price is reasonable compared to the TP1, but that's in the past.

What matters is today's competition. Pre is $200, iPhone starts at $100 ($200 for 3GS), the Blackberry Storm and Tour at $200.

Even, the previous generation of this phone, TP1 is now $99 on Verizon.

Ultimately the only protest that matters is whether people pass on the $350 or not.

But, even if the hard-core pays up -- I'm sure many will, that's the thing about the hard-core -- it's hard to see how this isn't just another reason why WinMo phones are having such a hard time in the market. You can't keep a platform moving with just the hard-core on board.

And it doesn't help to make your loyal customers feel like suckers compared to your competition.


PS. I'm still in the hard-code, but wavering more and more.

Re: TP2 Revolt against Sprint!

I was actually thinking of starting this thread yesterday with the word BOYCOTT. I'm in. In this economy, and a phone that can't really do anything for me and my business that my Mogul can't, I can't see that price. However, it's too early to talk to them about a better deal, next week I guess. I just got another replacement Mogul, the 4th in 2 years, and oddly, this was the 1st one that was not a refurb, but totally new. But guess what, bad keys right out of the box. I'm a ticked of customer right now.

Re: TP2 Revolt against Sprint!

Yea, I don't see what the big deal is with the price. It seems right in line where it has always been for release. Heck, VZW will probably charge $50 more than Sprint for the phone and I'm ok with that too.

Gotta pay to play.... as I've learned with many other, and much more expensive, hobbies. But I do hope that the price will come down quickly so that the general ppcgeek community can get its hands on it.

Re: TP2 Revolt against Sprint!

Op... expect some flame from a few members here. Hopefully mods keep them in check. As for you plan.... its not a bad idea really. Must of the money Sprint makes is not to phone sales but rather in cell service they provide. I have my own reason why I am not buying the phone.

Re: TP2 Revolt against Sprint!

If a new phone is no better than the one you have.. why would you want to upgrade in the first place? That would make the word upgrade an oxymoron.
