BTW, I'm loving this phone and debating whether to throw Mango on it, or just wait.
yea that's kinda BS that they're discontinuing it especially since all the droid phones are still in stock. damn idiots! as for mango beta I say go for it even tho it may be officially released in a matter of weeks.

Your trusting a bestbuy person to know what is going on with a product across the country ? Did you actually see something that said discontinued ? It's not discontunued online and if they were doing it nationaly, it would show that online.

We just can hope it's selling better than expected but, who knows..

BTW...Mango is awsome, just make sure you do a backup if you do it...

Re: Best Buy Clearance

OK, so if I go buy this phone for cheap, can it be activated on Sprint? My wife and I both have sprint and have used it since we were Nextel, 12 years ago. She likes my Arrive but can't see spending as much as they are charging for it through Sprint actual. Even with the upgrade that we're both eligible for.

The price from worst buy is the new/eligible upgrade price, so you should be able to make it happen.

Re: Best Buy Clearance

I wonder if it's possible to activate a Verizon Trophy on Sprint...

Re: Best Buy Clearance

Amazon mobile, upgrade price of $99. Couldn't care less about the .01 price, I don't qualify for that. Free 2day shipping too!
