I just got a SERO plan before the gates closed, I got it June 21. I originally had an HTC touch, but returned it because I did not like the lag on the phone ( I previously had an Iphone on AT&T). How much will it cost me to buy this phone outright? I won't get any rebates and I don't want to pay over $400, but will they make me pay the full $500? I plan on using this phone for at least 2 years on sprint, Since SERO is such a screaming deal. Thanks for any info

For the Diamond $250 with a two year plan,
Pro is 329.99 with a two year plan.

if i bring my family account over (4 account total) does that gain me any leverage with possibly getting sero or a discount? (i know i should ask this question elsewhere but im here now... so if anyone feels like answering go for it... if not)

Umm, since I am not signing a new contract, won't I have to pay more for that?

Contract discounts are 75 for 1 year and 150 for 2 years, so add 150 to 250 and its $400,

Wrong he still gets MIR and IR

no, he doesnt. They are reliant on signing a contract as well. The $150 MIR IS the discount for signing a contract (usually given at POS instead of mail in, but is displayed as mail in as worst case), the IR is additional for signing. Same as any other phone is. Also remember any sales tax is paid on the $550, and the discounts come off after the tax is calculated (hence, *rebate*)
