How are you planning on getting rid of your Touch Pro to get the Touch Pro 2? Ebay? Buying it outright? Calling retentions and having a fool proof story that leaves them no choice but to give you a Touch Pro 2 at heavily discounted prices? ;) I know that kind of thing used to work, heck it's how I got my Mogul and the original Touch. I was just wondering what people in the same boat as me are planning on doing.

Crap, I thought I was the only one devising a master plan for the upgrade to TP2.

If I wait until Jan 2011, I can get a slew of discounts including $200 from my employer and whatever Sprint offers for contract renewal.
However, I want the TP2 now.

I am sure we can get $150 for the TP on ebay.
Anyone knows Sprint's retail price for the TP2?

Not quite yet. They still have touch pros i stock so at least for a few months you will still recieve a touch pro.

Somebody just got a NEW Apache 6700 from insurance, and though Moguls have generally been replaced by TP's for some time, once in a while someone gets a new or refurbed Mogul

FWIW: I talked to Sprint rep the other day and he told me that the TP2 will be GSM so it can be used in other countries. The rep mentioned that TP2 will be one of Sprints few GSM phones.

I also asked about the HTC Leo to see if he knew anything about a phone with those kinds of specs coming out. The response I got was that those are GSM and will not be in the US for awhile. Not sure if that is really the case or if he was just trying to direct me to the TP2 now because it is the closest to being out.

I'm upgrading because I'm currently out of contract. ;)

Well scamming aside, I sort of lucked out with Sprint. An error in their database shows me as coming up on the end of my 2 year contract. I've got $150 I can put towards a new phone, so I'll sign up for another 2 year contract getting the TP2 at the sale price, then put the 150 towards the phone, then sell my TP on ebay for 200. Should even out I think. I may even come out of this with some money in my pocket.

Not a scam or anything, just doing what Sprint tells me I can do and playing dumb.

They don't give you the sale price and then $150 off afterward, you would just get the new subscriber price (assuming you renew a 2yr contract).

I will be getting for sure especially now that it is rumored that 6.5 will be released in October for the phone....Not sure how I am gonna do it yet. Probably buy it and sale my TP on Ebay and roll out the credit card for a month and a half so i should be out some money but not too bad.

I'm happy with the TP now that I'm flashed with the Eagle ROM, yet I'm planning to get the TP2 from Sprint. I've been out of contract for years so I'll just sign another one, it's a no-brainer especially with pro-rated cancellation fees.
