As everyone else I went for the Touch Pro 2 as soon as it came out. I have to state that the whole experience of getting these devices via the web site from Sprint and then activating these was pretty good.
I know a lot of the activate yourself the phone is a way of cutting costs. But it sure helps in regards to doing it at your own schedule.
I ordered my phone to arrive at one of our offices as I was to be traveling. As I arrived in the office next day, there it was. Put it to charge during a meeting turned it on and it activated itself.

Usually I had problems with Sprint activation process, etc. So I thought it would be fair to comment on a positive experience.

Glad to hear it went well. I am still waiting on the UPS truck to arrive.... I think this makes it even more of a scam that they *try* to charge for activation. They waived it for me and many others.

I was not able to activate mine on the net, though that was the 4th.

Not sure why but I am NEVER able to activate a NEW phone online. After the first new activation on my account I can move it swap it online with no more problems???
