Ill be at work in an hour for one and two why get info from a rep and make them look something up that I can just look up myself?

Since ill be into work in a few hours ill check on further status but a retail rep? the know less than the call centers (no offense). make sure your speaking to a rep over the phone (preferably the call center from SC) and check with them.

I'll have to find out what center I've been getting because the answers are all over the board. Can you confirm what this rep at the call center confirmed with her manager, she informed me that I can get the 2yr contract price on a new device since I came over from Alltel and would be entering into a different contract than I currently hold.

This is exactly it, I'm not trying to spread wild rumors, I have nothing to gain from any of this, I was simply asking if anyone has called in today checking into the availability of the TP2, and been told by representatives of Verizon that the TP2 is already being phased out. Don't forget that the Droid is going live within the next few weeks as well, so it wouldn't be all that crazy for Verizon to abort the TP2 and go right to the Droid.

Not trying to say you have something to gain just the same as I have nothing to gain about the TP2 since I already have one. Its just for the years ive been working at Verizon I never seen or heard of discontinuing a phone that is Acually Selling! within a month of it selling. Not to mention just yesterday I read our internal reports that we will be recieving further shipment. anyways again ill confirm in an hour anyways

Thanks! I appreciate it. Will you be able to update this post from work or will we have to wait till this evening to hear your report? Any chance I can call your call center and see if the phone is available lol?

Haha this just makes me laugh, the TP3 will probably be here by march 2010 at the rate these companies are throwing phones at us. Even though in some ways it's pretty cool.

As a rep I garuntee that the rep you spoke with was confused or mis-informed. We simply didnt expect for the phone to be Such a hit since the last TP sold so little. we are still recieving orders and even some warehouses have it in though they are almost depleted as well. We will get more in soon just wait for it. If anything we will order a bigger volume than before and release thoughs with an update but dont quote me on that last part as demand may meen the phones update will release online and wont ship with the phone for awhile and software testing I dont believe is finished yet either.

That's what happens when you release a quality device and don't nerf the hardware

They are not going to "replace" a smartphone with a HW keyboard with a soft keyboard version. There is no reason for them to discontinue the TP2. It s a solid phone. Verizon learned from it's mistake when they tried to sell a crippled TouchPro.

While the VCast feature is nice, the TP2 is it's own phone & is selling well above the expectations of Verizon, which is why it is out of stock. Spreading rumors regarding the TP2's impending "doom" is silly & completely without merit.

Good point, means they'll probably replace the tp2 with tp3 for those that have insurance... not to add to much fuel to this fire but I remember VZW doing that with the Moto v710 and the e815. So I guess march was it? That might be the time to "break" my phone =)

it is also worth mentioning that Verizon's price point being so much lower is switching alot of customers over (myself included). all 4 major US carriers now sell this phone and Verizon is getting more orders than they can handle. there's absolutely no reason for Verizon to want to cut off so many potential customers.
