Well it just dropped $100 in one day, so I'm glad I waited. Got it for what it would have cost to get it with a 2 yr upgrade + tax + shipping. lol

Holy Crap, that's an awesome deal. I just bought it! I had $100 ebay bucks plus 34 back from bing cash back, and then selling my Touch Pro to my friend for $200, so this will cost me $100

So when you activate the phone online, you can add the TEP online as well?

Your TEP is tied to whatever phone is activated on your account, so you don't need to readd it.

Cool thanks! That TEP saved me a lot of money. I went through 3 Touch Pros!

Ouch. I must be one of the luckiest HTC owners on this site. In two and a half years, I've only used TEP twice. Once on a faulty Mogul (I forget what was wrong with it), and once with an HTC Touch with a dark spot in the screen (they made me pay $50 for a refurb. :/)
