I went to bestbuy and the girl told me I would have to return the phone first before they canceled the line. Can anyone confirm this? I ended up having to leave but plan to return later today.

they will not charge $200 for canceling as long as it's in 30 days.but you will pay $579.99 plus tax.just call retentions as previously stated.not bragging but i got an instinct and touch pro for $80 bucks each.

Well if she bought it at best buy she would pay 749.99. The Touch Pro at full price is cheaper at sprint. Even sprints retail price of 579.99 is cheaper than BB cost.
