Nobody has gone to Blockbuster and said hey if you gimme a dollar off of that movie ill keep renting from you. I dont see why everyone is all mad cause they have been customers with sprint for years and sprint isnt giving them discounts that are above and beyond what they are already giving out. sure if they said they would give you a huge discount then later on they turn around and say sorry i cant that is one thing but to expect it even if they didnt erroneously promise it to you is well... unrealistic. Its a "Premium" phone so you cant try going into this without expecting to pay a "premium" price. I dont see fararri giving discounts.

I agree. Sprint already has an offer for people who haven't haven't upgraded a phone in 2 years. They get to buy a new phone for the new customer price. Why people are surprised when they call in trying to get a better deal than that and then find out later the representative had no right in making that offer is beyond me. Sprint also gives people a $70 credit for renewing their contract in addition to the new phone price. So most everyone who is out of contract and eligible for the phone upgrade can get the phone for $229. And people who were able to buy it from Best Buy with the coupon last week could get another $60 knocked off that price. Heck, that's cheaper than any other smartphone I've ever bought from Sprint (actually, my Kyocera 6035 may have been cheaper). I know it's tempting when you read about others calling and getting these deals, but it shouldn't be expected -- although it's nice if it happens.
And I agree that anyone who has a Mogul or other phone that doesn't work deserves to get a functioning phone -- either a replacement Mogul or a Touch Pro if it's not available. I'm talking about those who are trying to get a deal better than the one that Sprint already has and getting upset when you can't get it... I just don't get it.
