I understand that that probably does sound like tall tales but I am just relaying information. BUT i also think anybody who knows anything about advertising and releasing products would agree that July 25 or even August 10th is absolutely ridiculous. How in the heck are they going to build up any advertising momentum in less then a week? Or even less then a month? Not gonna happen.

edit: Also I wish i had voice recordings of the conversation but that isn't going to happen either. IF only I could get that cell phone number from dad then we could all call the guy at HTC and ask him.

Well I take it you haven't been with sprint long eh? They only TWO phones ppl can think about off the top of there heads that sprint even tried to market/ad was the instinct and palm pre...most sprint phone release are under the rader so if sprint still trying to ride the pre a quite tp2 release would do it. Gotta look outside the box sometimes brother still not calling you out just putting facts to sprint and how they do things. Lately they been matching other carriers release dates just something else to think about bro

Lol....you got me there. Only had Sprint since jan. Maybe that's how they keep the cost lower then everybody else. No adverts on the phones. But i also see all the complaints about how slow they are on releasing new phones. So september 7 may be the day on that account.

On a side note, I am kinda mad they released an update for my phone less then a year after I get it....if i get the tp2 how long till the tp3?

well if you have the TP and you use your phone a lot sprint is banking on the fact that you will take advantage of the Everything plan. cus if you have the $99 everything plan then you get to upgrade your phone once every 12 months

But to get the $150, you need to sign a 2 year agreement, correct? So, every year, you add 2 years to your contract length.....no bueno.

that would be crazy. All it means is that when you sign the new agreement your 2 years starts over from that day. What you think they can have someone in a 6 yr contract, that would be outrageous

Not really...see it has its ups and downs..6 year contracts would actually even kill carriers

Its a game of cat and mouse where people try to steal each other back and forth. A 6 year contract would make it really hard to take a person back, thus preventing them from doing business.

So if when the iPhone came out and would grab a large share for 6 years, that would wipe out most of the carriers...

On the plus side the phones we would get would be 100x better features cause the carriers would be fighting for contracts like starved dogs..

I mean like you'd see Palm Pre, Touch Pro 2 and all other phones come out almost automatically the moment HTC/Samsung/Palm and whoever makes them

This would also wipe out a lot of the carriers including sprint and eventually force the carriers to merge into 1 company with complete monopoly to survive >.>

you don't add 2 more years to your contract, you just restart a new 2 year contract. Which i dont mind because i know i will have a cell phone for 2 more years . Besides i love sprint more then any other carrier
