Yeah I have that credit coming my way but I really wanted to come out even or above even on the upgrade to EVO. If I applied that credit and the mail in rebate I'm sure the'll offer it would probably only cost 200-250 with a new contract. I just want to sell my TP2 to cover that cost.

I actually just sold my old instinct on ebay that i had before i switched to my tp2, and sites were offering like 40 bucks for it, and i ended getting 95 off ebay for it. Don't sell it to any business, $250-$300 seems like a rock bottom price to go for that phone, any lower is a rip off.

theres no mail in rebate involved at a 1 yr upgrade. even for "vip" members. you have to be 22 months into a data plan and be renewing a contract for another 2 yr plan to recieve a mail in rebate. the only discount you will recive is the 150 dollar upgrade credit. i found this out the hard way with a hero a few months ago. it was on sale at the sprint store for $169 (269 before m.i.r.) they told me not only could i not get the new customer price($169? but that i would have to pat full price ($549) minus my 150 dollar "upgrade", for a total of $399 lus tax. no m.i.r. because i hadnt finished my contract yet. i was at the 1 year mark on the 2 year contract.
lame....

I wish it was good to know. I wish I'd be able to buy a decent in the future and activate it under my sero plan. Unfortunately, those days have come and gone

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do when the next gen of phones hit the US market. The EVO is sexy, but going from $30 to $70 isn't.

I'm out of my 2 year contract and am a premier member. I'm signing another 2 year contract when I get the EVO. So I'm looking at $250 in upgrade credit and m.i.r.

nice. mines up in november. ive never been out of contract i always renew about a month before its up. phones i want are just coming out faster and faster. typically, i hold out for the good upgrade. if you go renewing way before its up, youll never have a chance to haggle your way in to some perks. as far as the other guy was sayin about sero, if you can get an employee discount, plus haggle real hard at renewal time, you can get close to a sero price. i got 2 unlimeted lines with lots of extras, and with my work discount, im comin in at 95 bucks a month! i love that stuff. most other carriers wont let you use your discount on all lines.

I've been lucky with insurance. I've got the repair insurance and they upgraded me from a mogul to the tp to the tp2. My contract was up in November so I've been waiting

I CAN NOT WAIT.

i think that by this november when mine is up, they will have a plethora of badass phones. i heard 12 4g devices by the end of the year, so knowing sprint, lets expect maybe 5. at least one of those should have better specs than the evo.(at least i hope so!)

Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.5 (Microsoft Windows; PPC; Opera Mobi/16730; U; en))

right now you can probably get $350 for the tp2(i got mines for 300 in the month it was released.)keep in mind that there like video games so when the next big game come around (evo)its worth will drop.200-275 in my eyes is way to cheap.i might hold off upgrading since my contract is up in december i wanna see what they have to offer me lol.
