Amen to that! My NE2 is coming up in a week too! GIMME TP2, or I am going to TMO!

Verizon historically has been more expensive than Sprint and almost never cheaper. I would guess around $400-420, possibly $350 after rebate.

Then again Verizon has given its users gimped phones but this time theyre doing things different. Their is a hope that things will be close to other carriers

Chance to be the same? As a business they should be trying to *earn* us over, and that's not done by screwing your customers over.

If this phone is more than 350 out the door, I don't much care HOW great it is, I'll stick with my RAZR for another year... it's got all the features and unlimited internet I could ever need, along with my old tethering package from Alltel.

(In fact, the only reason I'm with Verizon is to stay with our Family Plan. It's a recession, remember?) :P

Well, unless you can find some more proof, I believe the Mogul was priced identical to the XV6800, and the Verizon Touch Pro was $40 cheaper than Sprint's Touch Pro.

Both statements are based on full retail price immediately at release. Look it up.

I know people don't like being 'forced' to get a data plan but c'mon.... if you're getting an awesome phone like a TP2 you really are gimping it by not having one.

With some smartphones they actually are forcing you to add a data plan. Not sure if this is true with the TP2 or not tho...

yeah theyre forcing the data plan on any phone released after Nov 2008, so the latest HTC model you can get without a data plan now is the 6800, thats what a CSR told me. So not only do you have to get a 2yr contract but you have to pay an extra $360 a year for the data plan (which is a really cool feature but before this i wasnt using the internet on my phone)
