To Chappy and others who seem to have issues with me getting some kind of "deal" and bitterness towards it. I the op clearly did not even get the best deal of what's been described by people so far. I decided to shell out 430!! dollars for the phone WITH a two year contract. The point here is that I am a loyal customer who pays on time every month, and yes I get a pretty good deal with the 50 dollar sero plan, but it is by no means 30 bucks a month. My issue which I tried to make clear to retentions, but perhaps not clearly enough was that if I was with sprint for 22 months but only wanted to sign a ONE year contract, I could have gotten the phone for 325! bucks, (550-75upgrade - 50IS -100MIR). This is the deal I was going for as i am only "one year" in and only eligible for the 75 dollar upgrade but NONE of the others? I still feel like I got a little ripped off at 430, but would have been happy to pay 325. I think mine is a story of sprint getting what they wanted which is me locked up for another 2 years, and myself getting the phone I want, and they only gave up an extra 45 bucks in rebate. I'd say for all of those so worried about sprint corporate, that they did quite well on my deal. 50/month *(24mo - 9mo remaining) = 750 dollars for the company.
I hope people keep posting the great deals they have gotten so I can be jealous
