Sprint now replacing Touch Pro w/ Touch Pro 2!

(did putting it in bold help you?)

Right, so when I went to a Sprint store on Saturday to get my TP repaired, didn't mention the TP2 once, and the ASC rep pulled up a list of replacements and asked me if I wanted a TP2--he was in on the scam? Or was he fooled by slickdeals into thinking he had to offer me a TP2? Maybe slickdeals got into his system, so when he went to order a replacement, it surreptitiously added the TP2! That's got to be it.

I am done with this, I have made the statement I wanted to and don't wish to derail this thread any further.

The sad thing is, you're too stubborn to admit you're wrong. The internet didn't make this one up; go to any ASC and they will likely tell you about this program.

Here are the facts: Sprint issued this directive. You clearly haven't read it. End of story. You're not coming off as smart or competent here, chief--you just look like a bitter technician (which you claim you're not, but I sincerely doubt is the case, since you'd have no reason to "examine" a phone coming in for repair unless you were) who's just not very good at debating.

Better luck next time.

Fun thread, especially the last 10 posts. Now only if we could get level 4 replacements back in stock so I can resolve my legitimate issue.

BTW, I have to add this comment. As Dane Cook says- there are Sprint employees who, if they worked at Burger King, would actually think that they are the Burger King.

I'm not getting into a pissing contest, or a war of words. My post a few pages back was just to let it be know that begging is pathetic.

If you've had 3 or 4 or 7 TPs, then it wasn't directed toward you.... To a certain extent.

The fact of the matter is.... Sprint at one time did offer TP2s for TPs... But not anymore. It was a company mistake that now is being taken advantage of. If you're one of the people on the first couple of pages then you prolly made the cut. TP2 was only on the list for 2 days... if that long.

The arguement about the car not turning right or whatnot isn't a valid arguement... No one in any of these post have said I can't make a telephone call with my telephone.

Which is basically what that arguement implies ... I cant drive with my vehicle. The real arguement when putting it in car terms would be... "I can't use my turn signal, or my heater is stuck on hot... Can I have a 2010 please?"

Another brilliant reply was that these companies don't make any money off the devices just the service plans.... Well thats true, but did you consider when you OFFICIALLY upgrade you're also placed back into commitment? By these exchanges there are no commitments, which bottomline means no guaranteed monthly payments from that customer.

Which could eventually put Buck in the unemployment line.

So by upgrading with no commitment, what does the company gain from that?

Maybe I'm just old school or something? Maybe I was raised right... Maybe I just believe you get what you work for, or what you pay for...

But I do believe in karma, aand that life's a b.itc.h depending on how u treat her. Who know what issues these TP2s have. They've only been out extensively for a little over 1 month... Which I believe is how long everyone's TP lasted.

Time reveals everything, and everything good comes to those who wait... The rest just answer to fate.

lol I don't know what that guy's problem is. The sprint rep at the store showed me the exact same memo on their system. so it is real and not some made up story. thats what sprint reps want you to believe.

Picked up my TP2 last nite. The took in my original TP and gave me the TP2 w/ the battery and charger. Was expecting it to come w/ accessories (case, headphones, etc) like the TP1 did but oh well... I got a TP2

Its whatever. You realize that it's just an "improved" TP1 and the excitement dies down. I miss the d-pad on the TP1... wish they included it on this. But it's still a great phone.

Dude, the "improved" is what I'm excited about. I want a phone with a slide-out keyboard that doesn't burn me when I charge it, and doesn't refuse incoming calls for no apparent reason. If I believed another TP would solve this problem, I would take it--but I sincerely doubt it will. This is the 2nd time I've had serious issues with a TP, and the repair tech I spoke to didn't even really try to repair my phone after he looked at my account notes and looked at the device: instead, he just brought up the list and asked me to choose one.

I can't wait to get a phone that doesn't do these things. When my TP works properly, it's awesome.

Id say my touchscreen just up and dying is a legitimate reason. I hard reset and couldnt even "tap to set up my windows phone" lol. stop being so bitter, the touch pro 2 is the only thing comparable to the touch pro. If i pay for insurance on my phone and you cant replace it with the same one there is no way in hell im taking a downgrade. Its really not our fault they dont have anything else that is remotely close in form factor/features to the TP. Deal with it

just was told sprint is stopping it

Wow, u done using the soap box? geesh.

For the record, people can come on here and b.i.t.c.h or beg or whatever they want as long as it does not violate the rules of the board. Who are you to say otherwise?

P.S. Got my TP2 yesterday from Asurion, this thing is SWEET!
