What is Sprint Asurion offering these days for TP2?

[digiblur]

Long story short Sprint says one of my lines phone has water damage and won't fix the keyboard. You can look under the battery cover and the one outside is red. Look on the battery and through the little hole to the main board and the sticker is fine. I am not dealing with these yoyo's at the store. Figure I will just call Asurion...I am hoping they don't give out a TP2 anymore...had way too many TP1s and TP2s with keyboard issues and oil screen issues.

Dear Everybody,

The insurance program is not a "trade-up" program. I know that we have had the luxury of being babied by Asurion/Sprint alike, with going from the 6700 to 6800, 6800 to 6850 and from the 6850 to the 6875. Some of us out there have gone ahead and taken the plunge and gone over to Android with the EVO, will there be something else available for the EVO at some point? Maybe, no time soon though.

The premium you pay allows customers the luxury of receiving a device without having to pay retail for a new device. Even when it's deemed necessary that we pay the deductible. $7/mo=$84/yr, the deductible is $100, if you were allowed the TP2 at no cost from a TP even as late as a year ago you're only in for $184. Cash money phones, even the most "economical" start at $219.99 MSRP.

With all that being said, there may still be a possibility that Asurion/Sprint may be putting people into the HTC Pro7, why? Because, it's not a jump in technology. The specs are virtually the same, the operating system is new, but not staggering. Specifications are what are taken into account, so, no 4G phones. (Don't quote me on this paragraph, it's just a possibility. It may not happen, at some point you're going to have to sign a new contract. Whether it's with Sprint or one of it's competitors)

Thanks for letting me air this out! I work for a "preferred" retailer of Sprint's and get to hear day-in and day-out customers ask "this is my 3rd, 4th, 5th......phone, what phone do I get?" "Sir/Ma'am, you will receive the phone covered by the insurance program, which is whatever device is registered to your phone # at the time of the claim or something comparable" and comparable could be many things, not what you deem is proper for you to receive.

You've been quoted!! LOL!!

IF (they run out of TP2s) && (Sprint picks up the P7)
THEN MAYBE.

Time will tell...

I'm not willing to pay $20 more AND lose my 25% discount on a SERO500 at this point. That's 27.50/month more + the cost of a 4G phone.

Sorry Sprint...I'm gonna keep my perk-o-lated plan & my TP2 until it's worth it (for me).

"and sprint picks up the p7"???......... you miss the announcement or something, Sprint is 100% getting the P7.. especially since the P7 was the only CDMA WP7 device shown at launch AND its Sprint branded...

you SERO people are a trip, like you have some birth right to ridiculously cheap plans.... "oh no, my bill might reach $50/month, what ever shall I do".. its just funny to read all SERO cust comments as you guys squeel at the idea of switching phones and plans some day... its quite amusing..

and btw, your 25% discount can be put on just about any plan..

True, that it will be a "flagship" device, but as it stands the TP2 is the current "flagship" device on the WinMo side of things, as well as being a "World" phone. As the Pro7 comes available, the TP2 will be EOLed, it has seen a life span of more than 2 years!

As with anything, time will tell.

ummm, NO! the TP2 is in no sense of the word, Flagship at this point... Phones dont keep their "status" for shelf life... Flagship means Sprint is Pushing to the Masses and the device is Sprints FOCUS at the time..... thats SO not whats going on with the TP2 anymore(Most stores dont even carry it anymore, its rare.. Telesales, Sprint.com/other online ventures, and 3rd party are only way to get them)..


Sprints last several Flagship Devices:

Samsung Instinct(June 20th 0 - was Flagshipped over the TP1(Nov 2nd 200

Palm Pre(June 6th 09) - was Flagshipped over the TP2(Sept 6th 09)

HTC Hero(Oct 11th 09)(Sprints 1st Android device) - also Flagshipped over the Tp2(Sept 6th 09)

Htc EVO(June 6th 2010) - Flagshipped - for good reason

Samsung EPIC - Is this actually a flagship device or just another great device Sprint happens to have????????????????


HTC Pro 7(once Launched)

Millions of dollars were spent in Ad campaigns for the device listed above... NOT the TP1 or TP2.. yes they had commercials, but thats about it.. Sprint never tried like hell to get people in the TP series... hell, the Vogue(Touch) was pushed harder than TP1/2's..


the TP2 will probably never be EOL'd by SPrint.. Discountinued and EOL'd are 2 totally different things.. EOL means End of Life - meaning the device will not be made, sold, replaced, etc... Discontinued devices are still readily available by some 3rd party Retailers, And/or replaced by Asurion... ie The Mogul.. discontinued for years now, still can get replacements from Asurion though - therefore not EOL... and TP2 doesnt hit 2years till Sept 6th 2011..

a trip? i'd raze my hand high...
birthright? nah, nothing here but earned sh!t, bro...LOTS of it. paying double just isn't whack-off material...but tonitez game might come close.

nah, 25% corp disc CANNOT be put on SERO Premium accounts, as per Sprint website. if so, i just might go SEROP with an EVO or EPIC. got a hook-up maybe, so we'll see how that goes.
