Best Deal for an upgrade to TP2

bryanfritz1 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-14-2010, 08:42 PM

hey guys I am looking to upgrade to the TP2. I have a full sprint upgrade and was wondering if anyone had found a place to get the upgrade for $200 or less. I really want the phone but cant see spending all this money when you can get it on new contract for $99. Thanks for any info

i can't find it anywhere but sprint (newegg, wirefly, bestbuy didn't have it).
but it is 199.00 with contract now.

got like 7 TP2s through insurance scams... all for free... all you need is a defective TP1 and some patience, thats all

The best "straight" deal right now is the $200AR. But you can always pick up a TP1 via ebay (~$125) & swap it out at a Sprint Store for a TP2. As I understand it, Sprint is still swapping TP1s for TP2s when you have a problem with your TP1. Also, I believe just about every TP1 has some kind of problem, so ... this is legit, legal, *not unethical*.

The insurance scam route is pretty lame, IMHO. It's why the premium and/or deductible is probably going to go up again.

...along with the Hero and Moment. I'm holding on to my TP2 as a good backup.
