These rumors have been flying around for weeks...

I won't believe them until I have video of Dan Hess telling me personally that he's dropping the price to $199.

I couldn't have said it better myself, its been circulating for over a month now, as well as the rumor of deustche telecom or however you spell it wanting to buy out tmobile.

Wasn't the price drop confirmed, but it is only for corporate customers? Didn't see any news of a price drop for everyone else until now.

1. I've still got a year and a half more to go before I qualify for any phone upgrade discount.

2. I've had to get my phone replaced 3 times for bad quality issues. Probably a 4th time by tomorrow because the right D-pad doesn't work.

3. I don't qualify for the corporate discount.

Can I argue to get a discount on the TP2 based on number 2? What other options are there for getting a TP2 for less than the $400+ price on eBay?

If I were to get a TP2 on eBay, would I HAVE to get a Sprint one? Or can the Telus, Verizon, and TMobile versions still work?

you could always just run up on someone that has one hit'em in the eye and jack it

Business accounts get the rebate at the time of purchase. No need to mail anything in, and no wait.

Even if they do end up doing the price drop, it will be only for new customers or customers eligible for full upgrade, which wont help the OP or myself who wont have an upgrade eligibility. The regular price will still be $599.

Why do people always try stuff like that. If you want a top of the line device.
you got to pay the premium, i myself had few problem with my TP1
but i still paid listed price for the Touch pro 2. which is worth every cent

Unlock your Touch Pro, Flash a Custom ROM, ENJOY...

Getting Sprint to hook you up a new Touch Pro 2 at a discount, when you've had the Touch Pro for only 6 months...good luck with that.

BUT...

I would start with an email to dan@sprint.com , they gave me a deal back when I had ISSUES with the Instink, got a Mogul for $150. AND, I was able to keep the brand new Instink.

Then, if that doesn't work...call your local Customer Service rep...and work your way up to retentions. (if you don't know how to do that...then I suggest you don't do it...or else you might paint yourself into a corner.)
