You have those two options, whining and crying here about whats crap and whats not get you nowhere. No one's going to sue Sprint over a $50-100 savings, and youd lose anyways, so its blwoing smoke out the you know where.

The major point a lot of you are missing is a promise means NOTHING until it is enforced. If you dont get it then you dont get it, they arent under and obligation to honor that and your in turn free to leave Sprint and use other carriers too. The whole legal theory discussion is in a contract there is an offer/acceptance which was done, and consideration, the latter which youre missing. OP MAY have a good arugement to them that he already resigned, BUT he can also simply cancel the resigned contract too. If you didnt resigned you suffered no detriment, and thus no consideration not making it a valid agreement by law. Thats all the principle being set was. AKA you didnt do crap so quit whining you werent hurt by this, not getting what you want doesnt count

unless youre paying $500+/month theres few convincing reasons to get a $600 phone for under $150 no matter who promised what. If you didnt resign then you suffered no detriment here, move on and pay the 299, dont get it, or leave Sprint already

Dude, no one is crying about anything. My situation is a perfect example of sprint offering me something, noting it in my account, and then not wanting to honor the note. It's complete bull****! Yes my line was not entitled to this low of a price but come on they put a note on my account for it. I lets just be clear on something else while were at it. I'm sure some of you are quite aware (and I've read a lot of threads like this) that if you call up sprint and ask for "discounts" and "deals" you can get them. So this is just a prime example of a company with bad business ethics. They should be responsible for what their employees do just as I'm responsible for how many minutes or data I use. I can't pick and choose what I pay on my bill so why should they be able to do this with notes on customer's accounts? Now that I'm done explaining that I will say that Sprint has the best service, phones, coverage etc.. I'm very happy with sprint and have been since I joined around 2000. All I'm asking is for them to make good on something they offered me. No I won't leave sprint if i have to pay $399 for the phone but there customer service is just frustrating me.
