oh ok was wondering what was going on. does it have anything to do with the amount of time your with them or what? Some people cant charge because they have a charge limit or some crap like that.

I chrged mine over my acc't. When all is said and done, I would have recv'ed the following discounts:

$150 - upgrade
$150 - "price match" credit (should hit acc't Tue)
$100 - mail in rebate (must wait 30 days...before they process and send because of the 30 day return window)

so I end up paying $199 or close to it out of pocket. PLUS I sold my TP for $125 to a friend of mine upgrading him from the Touch.

$80...

working Sprint over...PRICELESS!!!

Nah, you can blahblahblah it all you want but there certainly WAS one. I discussed it at length with three reps in succession who all at my direction were able to find the upcoming promo in the system, SEE the price but werent able to sell it at that price to me even two days in advance.

They were all actually very surprised to see the upcoming price since a couple of them had just purchased the phone that week for much more themselves. At their direction I called back on the first and they processed the order after explaining that they'd since been informed what we've all come to know now, namely that the official promo was only corporate-liable accounts. However since they'd quoted me the price and made notes of it they said they'd go ahead and sell it to me at that price.

Finally they did something right by me. we've ALL experienced getting three reps with three diff answers to a question so its nice that at least in this instance they stood by it even when it turned out to be wrong or incomplete info.

SO...yeah. $349 plus a $150 account credit and with $199 for the phone and overnight shipping charged to my account I'm a retained happy customer.

Dude there was NOT a offical price drop get it threw your head if you are going to start on me ok.THE CORP people could get it for 199.99 way back in the middle of Sept.Think about it they would never drop it on ther website on the first right after selling it to everyone for 349.99.It would be stupid.DO YOU think this site is the only people who get the pro 2???? they get people in the store each day by the 100's and sell them to them for 349.99.The rep i know in New york alone sold 30 at that price with no problem.THE FACT is yes you can call up and when push comes to shove you can get the price match BUT IN NOWAY WAS THERE OR WILL THERE BE A OFFICAL PRICE DROP TO 199.99 ON THERE WEBSITE GET IT!

"I discussed it at length with three reps in succession who all at my direction were able to find the upcoming promo in the system, SEE the price but werent able to sell it at that price to me even two days in advance."

AND that quote is utter BS i do not care if you claim to have talked to 100 reps in a row that never happened.I know this for FACT! but go ahead and make all the claims you want.

and BTW after the mail in rebate i got 2 of them for minus 2$ which means i made 2$ and that does not include selling my pro 1

Rdcrds could not get that all in one post, no offical price drop. I never understand wht these rumurs start and then people get made when price drop does not show up on web site.

Not certain what you are stating here, but clearly, it is in fact 199.99 on the Sprint Small Business site.

It has been that way for small buisness and corp since long before OCT 1st how is this new news? there was no OCT 1ST drop as the thread stated when it was started.What i am talking about is the offical sprint page that every regular customer goes too on sprint.com.YES small buisness and corp get it for 199.99 but that is not new it has been that way for a long time now.
