I would guess people have been getting it because most reps aren't bright enough to read the "for corporate liable accounts" part in their own documents.
That being said, Sprint is still rock stupid. They're only doing this because of Verizon's price, obviously, but uh, HELLO? WAKE UP? Verizon offers that price to ALL customers, not just to the corp accounts. Sprint once again swings and misses. I find it completely, utterly, STUPID for them to try to get it right and yet get it so, so wrong.
And before everyone shouts "but wait! your contract is cheaper in 2 years blah blah blah", I'm not denying that. But see, this is America, where people want it cheap, and they want it NOW (proof - see: bestbuy removing rebates, and, america stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime). Sprint's ailing and struggling, and they just aren't winning anyone's love by charging almost double for this phone. This could have been a great chance for them to create loyalty, intice new customers, and use the momentum that this rumor had created on dozens of websites to make the masses cheer. Instead, they flipped "non corporate" people (who already get discounts on their service) the finger, thus FURTHER pissing off potential customers. Good job, Sprint. /slowclap
