The advocate Samsung instinct came activated out of the box. So we were both right, but i'd figure ud know being a 5 year vet of sprint, right?

Ok man. Believe what you want. I'm just trying to make sure that everyone else who reads this thread doesn't storm in to Sprint demanding to get the "extra" phone, or wanting to be sold an advocate phone because it's in inventory and it's not active.
Never since I've seen an advocate phone come into any store I've ever been in, has it been received into inventory, including the 800w. Since I do most of the receiving, I would probably know this. However, most advocate phones do NOT come activated, and I never said they all did. The Instinct did and the Diamond is. I doubt the Rant, Highnote, Lotus or iDEN Curve will.
PS, there wasn't a Touch or Mogul advocate. There were subject matter experts for Windows Mobile, Palm, and Blackberry, (and they were area wide, at least in my area), when the Mogul and Touch were released. I happened to be the WinMo S.M.E. and had an apache at the time, and got swapped for a Mogul.
