Well... I was just reflecting on my switch from the Instinct... and all the trouble it is causing me. I thought it would be a nice little story that would give people a laugh.

I have to call in on Wednesday when I get my student loans and pay $549 for my Touch Diamond. Then they will credit $200 to my account and I have to send the mail in rebate to get another $100 back. On top of that, I have to send my Instinct to Sprint to get $129 back, while I'm still waiting for my $100 rebate for the Instinct to arrive. Just to make things worse, I still have not received the $50 rebate for my Katana II I bought a year ago. So basically, on Wednesday I will have $828 of my money floating around Sprint, and a $116 phone bill to pay on Saturday. That is a total of $944 that I am instantly out of, only to get the Diamonds total cost down to $20 more than what I paid for the Instinct.

I don't believe that is "the only option the system will do." My roommate switched his Instinct (bought on release) out on Monday by having $20 billed to his account... but it is a business account, and apparently they are more important.

Fun Fun! I still can't wait to get the Diamond though!
