Has anyone ever downgraded their phones?

I wonder if Sprint will let us "downgrade" so to speak our phones for free from the TP2 to the EVO considering the EVO is tagged to be cheaper... Just wondering if anyone has ever done this before...

its not a downgrade. even though you spent more for your phone (however tp2 is now $200 too). it doesn't matter anyways if you are in contract it is for that phone.

My contracts up on my TP2, I was exchanged a TP2 from my TP1 and was off contract with my TP1 so I only pay Month to Month.. I'm sure it can be done as an exchange of some sorts hense how I ended up with a TP2 but I was just wondering if anyone's ever given a phone back for a different one outside of the 30 day initial "trial" period..??

If you can get away with that good luck, I am pretty sure the odds are stacked against you.

Yes, plenty of people have scammed sprint and asurion. I don't know how you would qualify it as a downgrade to get a much better phone spec wise...

Hmmm not sure if thats entirely true, I read a Sprint article that said they charged the extra $10 because of the phones internal specs/hardware being optimal over any other phone "1.0ghz processor, 8mb camera, front faced camera, etc"...

thats why its not a downgrade right there..

but sure lots of people have downgraded so to speak... TP1 users get a choice usually.. HTC snap, a BlackBerry, Samsung Moment, TP1, TP2... 3 of those can be considered downgrades from a TP1
