Wrong...the most money ever spent on cell advertisment is by Apple for the iPhone.

Of course they would have to advertise the phone that nobody cares about. With the diamond or touch pro, U don't need to spend that much money coz people are waiting to get their hands on it already. why spend money advertising it.

It's because it's their first phone ever created. On the 3g, since people know Iphone already, They did not spend as much as the first time.

Ummm I tink you misunderstood what he said. He is talking about with sprint that's was the most money they ever used on just one phone. Not any phone in General

Eb, you didn't understand what I said. I said "in their history." Meaning Sprint's history. Not in the cell industries history.

Hey, I have 14 months with sprint, I have 8 more months to go for my contract to end.I am on the 30$ SERO. What discounts will I get and can I ask for instant credit for the MIR? I read somewhere that if you bug and insist to retentions that they will do the MIR on the spot. Also.. I have the bad screen Touch.. so in landscape the phone is useless... my eyes water. Can I use that as the main argument for better treatment and get the instant credit instead of the MIR?

I wud suggest u call Retentions, dial *2, say cancel to get connected to retentions. Then tell them u wanna cancel ur service for some fone related reason like crappy screen, etc. They are the one's responsible for holding on to customers, and have always given me great deals like I got a Airwave yesterday for free with monthly fee waived

This is mostly for the ppl who have the Mogul, if you go on to your Sprint.com page, go to your email section, you will see a note that says as of 12/31 sprint email is done(i know old news, but just trust), then click something like other email ideas, and so on, well the new Sprint email program that is being used DOES NOT work with the Moguls, so if you upgrade to a new phone that does use the new program, you get the 150 rebate.
