So, Sprint Rep Says TP2 is NOT a Smartphone!

[gTen]

um lol... Motorola ES400S is a windows mobile phone...so it would be funny to see how they would explain how one winmo phone is a smartphone and one isnt >.>

For sure try the web 1st!!
I wasn't trying to activate one on the phone, was just having a VERY long discussion re. the upgrade path (or lack there of) of a tp2...

Well, that gives me some hope. I should get the phone this week, so I'll be sure to post.

I had this argument with sprint customer service, and retention so many times its ridiculous. TP2 is a smartphone just because its support F&F,Sero. Still a great smartphone.

i bought my tp2 through craigs list 2 weeks ago and activated over the phone. Had no problems with my SERO account.

As for the TP2...yikes! I just spent over $100 on one, so I'll be pretty mad if I can't activate it.

Out of curiosity, did you actually buy one and use the website to activate it, or did you just call and ask? Some of the posts I've seen say that the website will still let you activate it with no trouble.

Fingers crossed!

I picked up a used TP2 last month from Justn76 here at ppcg and got it activated for my son on my "non data" everything messaging plan without issues. I have a $5 data add on for mine, and when I activated my sons I was told he didn't need it. No change in plan price, no "extra" charges, no nothing. Hopefully you have the same experience. I asked a corporate store if I could do it and they assured me I could, so I picked it up and they were right. Even the CSR's on the phone were helpful. I had to laugh at the corporate store, they got me a BNIB TP2 replacing mine, since I had no issue for 21 months of owning the phone (bought BNIB 09/09 and the KB started acting up in 06/11) and the refurb they got me wouldn't wake up when it went to sleep and I pissed a moaned and they got me a brand new one. They tried to talk me into upgrading and changing my plan but I said no, just give me the TP2, and as soon as it was activated in store, tossed in my sd card, booted android, and told them no upgrade was needed lol

I actually would have to partially agree with the rep, WM6.5 is sorta garbage now in the grand scheme of things.

A beta, in the works version of Android that runs on an SD card is still better than a stock official stable (though dead) version of WM6.5
