Good luck to you guys...
actually it should be $252 after taxes and activation and shipping.

He rang me up for the 2 year price of 299.99 and I also had the sku code for the additional 20% off ALL smart phones which brought the final price too 254.39. Earlier that week I emailed ecare about the pricing for the 1 year upgrade users and they basically offered me a 100.00 instant credit to my sprint account once I purchased the new phone. So after I got home, I emailed them back and within a few hours the 100.00 credit was on my sprint account. That brings the phone down to 154.39. Last but not least, I sent off the 150.00 mail in rebate from the sprint site that is only eligible to new users and 2 year up grade users (which my receipt now shows 2 year upgrade for proof that it was 2 year upgraded). So once I get the money from that my total for the brand new phone comes to 4.39.
So you screwed best buy.

Also, don't count on getting that rebate, it is worth a try though I guess. I should send it off, if I get it back my final price would be -$50 after tax/activation.

Re: anyone else get raped on their tp pricing?

Rebate is dependent on a receipt from Sprint, not BB...

I don't understand why sprint gave you the $100 credit, unless they can't tell you didn't get the phone from them. That is a error in your favor...

Re: anyone else get raped on their tp pricing?

im not sure how much I paid for it yet.. it sounds like 399.99 - 100 rebate..

have a friends & family plan through a friend who works at sprint, he placed the order for me yesterday through iconnect.

a sprint rep told me a week ago the emp cost was 299.99 - 100 rebate if you're eligible for your yearly upgrade, which I am.

ill call and get everything striaghtened out once I receive the phone but what do you think? what did you pay? 300ar seems excessive, especially considering the mogul was 188 on its release day last year.
________________

Me too retentions told me I could have it for the new account price Minus 100.00/299.00-100.00=199.00 I was cool with that so I didnt close my acct called back now that phone is released the want 399.00-100.00 mail in rebate said the supervisor wont do any better I got scammed now Im stuck.

399 + tax - 100 mail in rebate.

At least the mogul is still doing well on ebay... I'll be able to get some of that back.

Re: anyone else get raped on their tp pricing?

The rebate from best buy is instant. The in store activation refers to Sprint Nextel Corporate Stores

Re: anyone else get raped on their tp pricing?

I paid 240 + tax for mine at best buy two weeks ago. They also offered 20% if you were a reward zone member (which is free).

It was because prior to getting the phone at best buy, I emailed sprint ecare about how unsatisfied I was with my current touch and that I thought it was out outrageous for me to have to pay that kinda money for a 1 year upgrade. So they just replied back offering me a 100.00 dollars instant credit to my account once I purchased the phone. No proof other than it showing on my account online was nessecary.

Re: anyone else get raped on their tp pricing?

I did well without putting the squeeze on anyone. I was able to get $200+ on my mogul (I paid $250 for it originally), I paid the best buy price for the TP......so it was a wash....
