Sprint will not sell me the EVO even though im not on a contract!
Ok so here's the deal. I purchased a Touch PRO at full retail price. The stores gave me 3 completely different ones and said they "fixed" 2 of them...still had problems with all of them.
So i am out of contract, go up to Sprint store and basically tell them if they can't fix my phone this time im going to get an iphone...that i've had enough of the BS they kept putting me through.
The lady all of a sudden goes "OHHH well, we have a new version of that phone out, so let's try that one and see if it works any better"
So hence i have the Touch PRO 2. So i hear the EVO is coming out and im done with windows mobile, go online and to my suprise...oh wow they renewed my @#$@(# contract without even telling me!
The exchange happened at the store but i was on the phone with Sprint so everything had to have been recorded. The lady never ONCE told me my contract would be renewed. So after bitching and complaining they finally put my contract end date back to where it should have been...back in 2009.
So i go into Radio Shack today to see if i can preorder the EVO....nope. Call sprint and the guy on the phone is a COMPLETE **** to me, basically telling me i can't have anything for free and im lucky he doesn't renew my contract for me getting the TP2.
So now im pissed as @(#% at Sprint. I've been a customer for 4+ years and never had this kind of an issue.
They are telling me i can't "upgrade" but yet im not under contract, so couldn't i just cancel my account and open up a new one? That's so stupid i would have to go through all this BS.
Anyways, so i know Verizon is looking at coming out with something to "top" the "4G" that sprint is advertising which is supposed to be a LOT faster.
What do you guys think? Should i just give up on sprint and go with verizon or the iphone? I was perfectly fine with paying the $200 for the evo but that rep was a complete *******
I use my phone a lot for Pandora, GPS, Music and tethering, so if verizon should have a faster network than sprint soon, i might want to go with them.
