Re: Diamond retentions deals

I think the more important question is those of you getting these "decent" deals on SERO, are you having to extend your contract, and if so are you able to keep the SERO price?

I'd like to get a diamond too, but the high price of $550 will make me wait until it's cheap.

Yes, like any other grandfathered plan, sprint is letting SERO customers keep their SERO plans. All of these deals will require a contract extension. No way to get around a contract to get a discount on the device, but you will definitely get to keep your SERO plan.

LOL I think we are one of the luckier ones! I've had service from sprint since last December (~9 months now) when I got my touch (with a $250.00 MIR rebate final price was 125.00 minus 50.00 URANG credit= 75.00, but I digress!)

So after all this Diamond vs Pro thing I got excited, so I went to check my upgrade eligibility and I can actually go all the way until checkout (under my login with my current phone number) and the diamond shows up as 349.99 + 100.00 MIR (I have SERO so I qualify for the MIR as well).

Could it be that the system likes us? (I haven't even tried calling, though I'm afraid to do so since it may raise up a flag, I might try and call once the Pro is available.) BTW, the only feature the Diamond is lacking that the pro has and I actually care about is the TV-out, if it had it I would have bought the Diamond already! (don't care about the flash, sd slot, or keyboard, I actually PREFER no keyboard and a thiinner phone)

Re: Diamond retentions deals

I managed to get just the $75.00 off and that's probably because I'm only 10 months in on a HTC Touch.

I tried 3 times. One was willing to do nothing. Another would do the $75.00 off.

They VERY much knew I had SERO and was getting a heck of deal.

I figure with SERO I could buy a phone at full price every 6 mo and sell the old one on ebay and still break even. The other 6 mo I'm still way ahead until the next phone. Probably a Touch HD next year at this time.

I may try to haggle them for the rebate. But if I don't get any more discount I'm fine. I just had to have the phone even though it's still a stupid 2.8" screen Grrrr.

Re: Diamond retentions deals

We have 3 sero lines here (all 3 signed up last September), and lucky for me, my line is the only one showing $150 (the other 2 are showing $75).
