I will be happy if I can get the $75 off but they told me something completely different.

and all i'm saying is they're wrong. if you want to force the issue and get them to run the upgrade, they can and you can give them the instructions i wrote earlier, great you save $75. if you'd rather not, then head to a sprint store, i'm sure they'd be happy to get you taken care of

Where is the extra $75 credit coming from? My math IF there were to be a pricematch, $449-$75=$374 +tax. I may be wrong but at that price BB could be losing money on this item as they would not get the credit from Sprint for the FULL 2 year upgrade/new line of service.

It don't make sense to me neither but BB will give $150 total for partial credit customers assuming they sell it at $599 they will make money.
They got another thing coming when people ask them to price match sprint plus that $150 off.

i rather spend the $75, and avoid a 2 year contract... i'm crazy like that.

I appreciate the info and that makes RS only $50 more if I can get the guy to run the discount. I think I will call them and ask.

I totally agree with this especially with WP7 on the way. WP will be a lot more money because you have to pay MS. I am a Sprint Premiere costumer tho so I will be able to get another 150 off in a year. So I might as well use the 75 now. I used the previous 150 on the wife's phone about 3 months ago.

Anyone end up upgrading with only a $75 discount? If so, how much did your phone cost assuming you bought it from sprint? Are you eligible for mail in rebate?

I posted this on the carrier discussion, but I only had the $75 upgrade- full upgrade in December. I went thru BB @ 1800bestbuy, got the phone for $199 w/2 yr contract. Spoke to sprint to ? why they did not allow me to upgrade @ 199, they stated that BB should not have allowed the upgrade, but they did -- received the phone on the 9th. I order it on the 4th when the system was wonky maybe that was the reason BB gave me the full upgrade price?????
