u may also try buying an old 6700 or mogul...the 6700 they replaced with moguls when they went bad...they suppose to be replacing moguls with pros sometime...not sure if sprint is doing this yet or not...if so just take a mogul into a sprint store and see if theu will give u a pro...

i dont know how ud do the contract thing...this wont work either if u dont have a phone al;ready turned on with sprint im sure
