What's your Sprint Order Number? You should be able to put that into the UPS Track By Reference tool and see it.

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
This worked for me!!! I tried all day yesterday and kept canceling the replacement request until the phone it told me that I would get was the HTC Touch Pro.

I got the confirmation email from sprint and my phone has already been sent out for delivery.

I can't wait to get my new phone.

As for the problem my phone had, for some weird reason whenever I would power down my phone completely, It would freeze on restart. I would have to do a manual pull of the battery leave it out for twenty minutes then insert it and it would work the right way maybe 3 out of 5 times. If not, it would start up the right way, but then when I would go to use my screen, it was acting like it was transparent and would select the underlying choice of the menu below it.

From restarting my phone one time, I now have some permanent pixels which are brighter then the rest of the screen.

I've seen 3.4 lbs earlier in the thread. I wish you luck, hope you get a Touch Pro. It's turning into a crap shoot.

I did but it says:
>>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Verify your information and try again.
I order it last night. Is that mean they haven't got my order yet?

They probably haven't shipped it yet. Check back at like 6pm tonight. I ordered last night as well and my tracking isn't showing up either.

Well, it could mean a few different things. But, they might NOT have used your ES##### as the reference. So I would just wait. Have patience, Sprint is trying to get people working phones.

Well, if it is your not out anything. Sooner or later your going to be upgraded. I would be surprised if you get a mogul.

Maybe the extra weight because of packing material being used. Sometimes Sprint will stuff their box's and sometimes they barely put anything in there at all.

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
This is so awesome, to be able to process a replacement request online. I just submitted, mine thru: http://www.nextel.com/en/services/se...olutions.shtml

And it said, my replacement was a Touch Pro too. I don't care either way if they send me a TP or Mogul, cuz I might end up selling or trading it anyway, since I already have a TP

But, my Mogul keyboard was acting up for a while now, and I needed to replace it. I was just waiting for my upgrade eligibility on that line and hoping for something newer to come out soon.

Question? Do I still keep my original upgrade eligibility date or is it gonna start over now?

i hope that extra .40lbs is just packing material. I really dont want another mogul, this is my 3rd one and its been just as bad as my other 2.

Can't say I blame you. And why tell you that you're getting one phone and then they send something different.

There is no description. It just is! It is like the difference between a 1970's VW Bug and a 2008 VIPER!

I am still waiting on the tracking information (it has been 24 hours) the email I received from escalations said it had been sent to the warehouse but shipping information was not yet available. They actually checked it later on in the day for me too.

Nope and thank God. I would hate to get one of those. It almost sounds like a few demo's got out. IDK

I've been regularly checking for tracking info from UPS. It was over 24 hours before it was on the site. Had today been a weekday I would have gotten my Touch Pro today. I order the replacement on Thursday night. Pretty quick turn over if you ask me. Just be patient.

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
Well, after reading all thru this forum, i contacted sprint with the issues with my phone (random reboots and the white spot on the screen) i DO NOT have any insurance but the phone is only 10 months old. They offered a replacement Mogul until they realized it was back ordered. Then they referred me to HTC for Warranty repair :( . So i had my wife call the local sprint repair center and explain to him the problems with "her" phone and she asked what he could do. He told her to call customer service back and have them add the insurance on the account, and then bring it in to him and he would get her a new mogul. So i called and had the 4$ insurance added to the account ( they were VERY reluctant to do this) waited bout 1 hour and then called asurion. They said i needed to fax in some documents, 24 hours later i called back and they offered a refurb mogul. ](*,) So i just said i would have to get the 50$ on friday and call them back. Called back on Friday and they say " well it looks like we will be sending you a brand new phone as a replacement we are send out the Touch Pro" :mrgreen: I CANT WAIT!!! THanks for the GREAT find! Wish me luck!

If someone who recently switched to a TP could let me know how they like it, please PM me . I am especially wondering about GPS , Slingbox reception and quality, and overall processing and network sppeds, also if this can be used as a modem without monitioring ? Thanks for the link , it was too easy

If my scroll wheel is no longer working since its basically it got pushed into the phone, will I qualify is replacement request legit? This happened because I dropped my phone. BTW I don't have the insurance so someone please advise if I what the projected cost should be on my end. Thanks!

Because the Touch Pro isn't comparable to BB Curve. The only reason you can swap a broken Mogul for a Touch Pro is because A) The Mogul is no longer made and B) The Touch Pro is the replacement for the Mogul. If Sprint stopped carrying the Curve then they'd most likely offer a newer BB model in exchange.

i wonder if i could go to the sprint store where i bought it at and demand a different phone replacement ? i do have the insurance and i think there is a 90 day warranty of some kind.

Placed my order yesterday over customer service, lady said that I was to receive new Touch pro... went on the ups website today and the package weight says 1.80 lbs... did we deem that wieght as being a refurb mogul or a new pro... i read mixed reviews? The new Pro's in the box are weighted at 3.XX lbs right?

This post confirms that 1.8 lbs is also a Touch Pro.

lakai180 01-24-2009 02:57 PM

Re: Upgrade To Touch Pro Free!!
 
so the 1.80 lbs is a new pro in the box... or is it just the phone itself?

sorry im so impatient, i've been waiting for this phone since i first heard they were coming out with an upgrade for the mogul... since i used to work for sprint.. ;)
