your still getting ripped... You can have an EVO or an EPIC for that price.. i know you said your not ready for android yet, but maybe you should hold onto your rebate status a little longer....


and If your returning your TP1 for store credit, then they didnt eeven give you a deal.. they just let you buy a TP2 straight up.. its not an exchange

just try some different stores... here in Michigan we have Wireless Giant and Wireless Toys are 2 good 3rd party retailers...

calling Sprint on the phone will get you nowhere since they cant see the device.. and "rarely" do an advanced exchange VIA the phone for TP1s

If anything go somewhere...let them exchange you for a brand new refurb TP1... then go for a TP2 again... atleast then you have a nice shiny TP1 to get rid of

It's not a rip off seing I've been upgrade 2-3 times already by sprint. Also, EVO doesn't have a slideout keyboard, worthless for systems administration and general business - a toy at best. Any unit without a slide out I refuse to use. I am essentially paying $100 after all rebates, the buyback etc.. $254 - 100 - 25 for my broken tp. so ~$125 for a brand new phone in the box? how is this a rip off? Plus they are letting me pay it off little by little with just a larger phone bill (instead of $85 a mo I will pay $125-150 a mo). The EPIC isn't even out yet, the rep couldn't get me a good price point or estimate the cost.. I will hold on to this for a little bit and if the epic comes out soon I will probably ask to switch phones. We'll see...

The epic comes out the 31st... dont see why on earth you would actually buy a tp2 now...

You're talking to a guy who is trading in a phone and "financing" the balance with monthly payments. I wonder if he went for the optional rust proofing..

Though it's worth noting that the Epic carries a $10 monthly cool phone tax. According to Windows Calculator, thats $240/year plus applicable taxes, and I'm told some people don't like the sound of that.

I too LMFAO @ rust proofing... and its 120/year not 240...

and idk OP, ultimately its your call, but yeah the EPIC went for pre-orders on the 13th i believe and its available on the 31st.. Sprint is all full on reservations.. but Radio Shack, Best Buy, and even Walmart(-i think) are taking pre-orders also so you might can find one in your area still..

and I checked phoneclaim.com just 5mins ago for ya, got offered a TP1>TP1... no TP2s there either

Personally I think its a more than worthy upgrade.. but thats just me.

TP->TP2 for $100 in January for me lol You sure you're not getting ripped off?

I'd get the EPIC, but freakin taxes on cell phones in CA suck..

I got 40 bucks credit for a beat tp 1 with broken keyboard and no back cover. with rebate paid 160 for my tp2. no regrets.
