I'd like to mention that while I was a firm believer that sprint was in fact just trying to force people off sero to get these fancy phones, I no longer think that is the case.

Suffice to say I've seen some technical reasons why they may have taken this stance and furthermore, my theory works with the fact the TP2 was allowed:

Phones that use visual voicemail are not allowed on sero. That seems to explain it. When these devices get activated they need a slightly different backend system which requires different account codes. Thus sero would not properly work without some issues (maybe minor, but not to a company that has to support them). Anyway, just wanted to put this out there.
