well mail in rebates are a joke but i can't beat only having to pay like 180 bucks for it after my $150 discount towards my upgrade.

yeah after talking to a few people im done using the vogue android builds and i will be buying the hero. the pre just doesn't cut it for me.

How will you be paying $80?

$430 (cost of phone) - Your $150 for renewing your contract = $280
$280 - $100 sprint rebate = $180

Where is the other $100?

yeah i meant $180 but mail in rebates are a joke. you have to wait weeks upon weeks to even get the check. i want instant rebates.

If Best Buy sells the phone, problem solved. They usually give you the phone for the price, after MIRs. So, BB would sell the phone for $180, and you don't have to have to mail off anything.

Well, I wasn't talking about SERO accounts. I kind of understand why they wouldn't allow this phone on SERO accounts. I was talking about data addons. I'm willing to pay for data addon but not a change of plans. The current rebate form doesn't have the HERO grouped with the phones that require an Everything Data Plan and I hope it stays that way or else I won't be getting the Hero =\

If you are a Premier customer you can upgrade to a new phone every 12 months for, I believe, the same price as a new customer. Otherwise it's every years. Both of these scenerios assumes you are signing a 2 year contract.
