I have the 2 year premier everything data contract. I started it with my TP2 on 1/1/10. They said the best they could do for me was to move my upgrade from 1/1/11 to 12/17/10. That's crazy people have got their upgrade half a year early! Unless you're talking about 4-6 months before their 2 year anniversary.

I was talking about 2 years...but as stated on 1 year you might be able to get them to make it a month off...

I don't think they necessarily "move up" your upgrade eligibility date, instead they likely offer a concession as a goodwill credit. If this is the case, then whether they do it for you or not may be a function of the rep's mood, the cost of your plan, how long your account has been open, etc..

My SERO plan has received no such love lol

Your not committing any violations.. these kind of threads usually fall into a gray area so its up to the mod of this section to decide if he wants to move it..but I guarantee you its not a violation lol

I was on the phone for about an hour with a few different supervisors for different departments. Two weeks was apparently the best they could do, and of course they tried to jerk me around.. I think I could have told the sales supervisor that I was told by another department they would give me the upgrade 1 month early, they would have just done it. They didn't ask any questions when I told them about my promised 2 weeks.

Switched from a TP2 to an Evo the day it was released. Best phone I have used to date and I have been using smartphones for the past 10 years.

One great thing about the EVO is the amount of support you will find for it and custom Roms. Can't speak for the EPIC but for the EVO we have Roms that include the new Sense, MIUI Roms, AOSP Roms, and a ton of the standard Sense Roms.

The development on the EVO has been insane! Might want to take a look at that for the EPIc and see where they stand. Also, I will take the larger screen over a slightly better screen any day.....

Well as I said its not simple for a whole month when premier..but they put notes on your account so no reason they wouldn't be surprised..my guess they moved it up 2 weeks before Christmas...

The development for the Epic is not too bad...the thing about the Epic is its actually pretty good Stock...unlike most other phones which rely on modification to make it work right..Epic works right out of box..don't get me wrong its not issue free..but its very impressive for a stock phone...that said we have a bit of development going on it as well..and fyi, the Epic screen is not a little better but A LOT better..mostly if you get an EVO with a bad screen (cause each revision has a different manufacturer screen)...

Thanx this is very insightful information and a relief to know,
As I also plan to move to Epic by Feb because I already on a 4g plan with my bro's epic.

Not to knock the Evo, but both the Epic and even my TP2 has a much more colorful screen than the EVO.

Hmm, I guess I am knocking the Evo,
because I feel important to warn potential buyers
that the battery life is very dismall..
My co-worker's Evo on stock rom, barely last one day on TWO batteries!

Replaced my TP2 with the Epic about a week ago - so far - no regrets...

What is the best way to prep my TP2 for sale? Should I just do a hard reset? I am running MightyRom.
