were you just talking about returns in general?

i was talking about phones when it came to returns. I didn't know phone service had a different return policy, everything in cali is 30 days, so if you only got 14 days on certain things and 30 days on others i didnt know that.
yeah they will be able to upgrade their network to wimax, but you are correct phones in general will need more then a software update, especially since sprint can sell you another phone like you pointed out.
