well, at least...
Well, at least they didn't tell you to buy a TREO. That "Trio" phone they're trying to talk you into may be a great phone, but I wouldn't take a "TREO" to replace a 6700... yeesh

Well the only thing wrong with this and before we all go burning up blowing up and screwing up our handsets is SPRINT DOSENT HAVE ANY MORE IN THE WAREHOUSE!!!!!!! so if you break it your going to get a Treo 700p or a Treo 700wx in replacement they also may give you a Motorola Q so dont chance it |

Well I went to sprint yesterday and they still claimed there were no 6700's to be had, but they would give me a Treo. so i not so politly asked if it had WIFI (knowing it dident) they of course replied no! I at that time I placed my phone on the counter with my credit card and loudly exclaimed then id like to cancel my account!! well the CSR exclaimed "let me call another store and see if they can fix it" I said no dont bother just cancel my account he dissapered into the back about 2 minutes later he came out and said "your in luck we found one in the back so were giving it to you" funny huh! when i got home i told a friend of mine in another city what had happened he went to his local store today and replayed the same scenerio there. and low and behold they "found one" in the back too. seems all you need is the balls to stand up to them and they crumble pretty quickly

Yeah when I first got my phone, Sprint and I went rounds. They're pretty crappy at the stores.
I went in to sign up for new service in November. I was mostly just inquiring. Dude convinces me to sign up and get a cheap phone, then come back later in the week when I get paid to swap it out for the 6700. Everything looked fine, went back, swapped, etc. Well the 6700 I got wouldn't hold the memory card. The spring was broken. Took it back to the store and they tried giving me the "well, we can't exchange it for a new one because you have already had one product exchange" even though it was broken out of the box (I literally hadn't even removed the screen protector yet - I went to Walmart to get a memory card, it wouldn't stick, so I had to return it). They gave me two options. Either send it in to get a refurb or let them try to fix it themselves. I told them I would just return the phone and cancel my account, taking my business back to T-Mobile. Suddenly, corporate policy went out the window once he realized I hadn't had the service more than 2 weeks and was threatening to leave. Bastards... |

Didn't think I'd be posting in this thread...
Dropped my 6700 and got a small crack in the upper corner of the screen. Everything still seems to work (although I did have to align the screen) but it makes me nervous. I went to a Sprint store and asked if they had any and was told that they were discontinued. One of my options (besides taking a Treo) was getting it fixed. In the past, this never happened. Will they actually put a new screen in this device? Can they do it "in house" so that it can be done that day? Waiting a few weeks while it gets sent to HTC is not an option. I'd love it if I could just get this one back to 100%.

Just dropped an completely busted the screen on mine yesterday. It turned many different colors, and the screen is utterly indistinguishable now. Fortunately I have Voice Command on there and running, so I can still manipulate the phone functions via that, but it still sucks not seeing what I am doing. I called Asurion and told them my little story, and today I have recieved a BRAND NEW in the box PPC-6700 with the dock, chargers, all the goodies with it! I figured I would be getting another refurb from them, but they delivered the goods this time!

By the way, the nice lady I spoke to at the insurance company told me that the Sprint warehouse has thousands of these available for warranty claims. She said that the reason I am getting a new one is because they pulled all (or most all) of the new units from the stores so that they could cover many months of warranties after the discontinuation. So if anybody tells you there aren't any, tell them BULL!
PLUS, the Sprint stores themselves are still eligible to order the handset for you from the warehouse. SO if you have the ESRP plan, and they tell you they cannot replace it - CALL *2 IMMEDIATELY and get ahold of Customer Service. THEY will set the rep in the store straight. It will take a few days to get the handset at the store, but they can order it for a replacement unit - DONT LET THEM TELL YOU OTHERWISE! |

Well, remember that you are talking about two different entities. Asurion is a seperate insurance company and will keep a different stock than the Sprint stores.
