No Touch Pro Pre-Ordering Allowed?

munnarg · #1 (**permalink**) 09-10-2008, 05:16 PM

So I just got off the phone with a Corporate rep at Sprint, and he said that they won't be allowing any pre-ordering of the Touch Pro. It seems HTC told them not to, and that they will have enough to meet the demand. He also said that the finish on the phone is a piano black so the pics were slightly misleading with that slightly grayish look. It seems that the phone is supposed to be in stores on that date as well, so we might as well hit the stores instead of Tele Sales.

Not sure if anyone else posted this, so I apologize if this is a duplicate post.

Sign up here to be notified once it’s available. Oct. 19 is the date I keep seeing. I will be there with a bat to knock someone unconcious should they get the skippy jones. Or I may just wait it out ... oh I'm so confused.

Is there a real benefit for buying the pro at the store? I really hate going to sprint stores in general, so I always pay my bill online and buy my phones over the phone with telesales or through the retention department.

I'm the same way sometimes but if there a chick in there n she thinks I'm cute = discounts or helping me find discounts. Waiving the fees to turn the phone on lil nick nack stuff like that so I won't mind going to pick this phone up from the store. Its only 1 store I go to anyway had a problem with the other store lying n just plain ole mean [Edited Due To Graphic Content] lol.

Oh ok, I have tried so many times to get some kind of discount off the phone and I can never seem to get them to budge in the store, I can get what I want over the phone for the most part though with overnight shipping.

I guess its all on who you get in the store. Had ppl who couldn't waive the fee to turning on a phone. Had ppl call up sprint and say hey go ahead and discount his phone he been with use for years and we really wanna keep this person happy so who knows when it comes to going to the sprint store. I think on this phone imma only get off 75 n that's it.

I never go in store but I always get large discount over the phone. Not just free activation. So I'm probably gonna go that route.

Good topic, I was just thinking of this. I know when I bought my Mogul I got a phone upgrade discount and was able to put the balance on my Sprint account. I hope I can do the same with the Touch Pro......
