I've been trying to justify the purchase of this phone myself.
I have been waiting for SOMETHING to come out to where I can use my SERO plan. I have been tempted to switch cause of the Pre, or the Hero, or what not, but then I have to go...Do I REALLY need to change?
I saw the price of the TP2 on Sprint, and
If I was a regular customer, I doubt I would even be thinking about it unless my plan was really good considering it is $150 cheaper on Verizon. But then again, I think Sprints plans are cheaper.
Anyway for me, here is what I get.
Got my statement today, and pay $27.05 (that's with tax) Now I look at the phone and go...i've never thought of spending this on a phone.
Then again, look at my bill. If I buy this phone and only get it for say $475, that is $275 more then the Verizon one.
If I change, and then get the Verizon plan, I am at... what $70
So that means I am paying 43+ tax more a month. x12=$516 MORE plan wise.
$70 x 12= $840 for Verizons plan + $200=$1,040 for a year (+Tax)
$27 x 12= $324 for my SERO + $475= $799 for a year (Inc Tax)
$241 cheaper to still buy it on Sprint.
