Upgrading with Sprint? How much did you pay?
 

I have been thinking about upgrading my one year old Sprint Touch. I went to the Sprint store and they told me if I wanted to upgrade, it'd cost me about $500?? :scratch:
They said that since I only had the Touch (and new contract) for one year, I only qualify for a $75 savings off the full retail price of $579. That means I miss out on most of the instant savings and the rebate.

This seems ridiculous to me. I have been a Sprint customer for over 5 years and have gotten my wife, both of my parents and my SIL/BIL to sign up with Sprint, but Sprint is going to treat me worse than someone who never gave them any business at all.:(

So for those of you that have upgraded, how much did it cost?

i was 2 months away from my 2 year upgrade and ended up paying $390 after tax at best buy after their 20% deal. Got a $70 renewal credit though. Yeah it's a screwy deal unless you've been there for 2 years or get lucky with retentions. I didn't mind paying that much for mine because they upgraded my moto Q to a mogul about a year ago for Free. I figure i will have this phone for atleast another year. Now if they come out with a Tegra phone in 6 months i'm going to be pretty pissed.

It cost me about 390 and i was only a year in. I too got mine at BB with the 20% off, and it all worked out. I dont mind paying a 90 dollar premium to not have to wait for that extra year. The only thing I didn't like was sprint forced me to change plans to get the phone, which I am still fighting with them about.

:headbang:

i got mine for $375 shipped with no upgrade.

So for those of you that bought at BB, you were able to get the TP for $390? Maybe I just got a bad Sprint store rep? Or maybe I should try Best Buy?

the 20% off deal is over at BB as of Nov 1

239 at BB after the 20% and a 2 year renewal. I actally only had a 1 year account but I got lucky and had a messed up contract date. :D

I guess I won't be upgrading afterall. It would probably be cheaper for me to cancel my Sprint account and pay the cancel fee and then go to ATT and get an I-phone 3g. I don't want to have to wait another whole year to upgrade my phone.

Im a Premium customer I get full upgrades every year:)

Re: Upgrading with Sprint? How much did you pay?
 

I paid $550 including tax for mine on official launch date. Been with Sprint for over 3 years and had Sero for a little over a year. I think i'm going to return it.. $550 is way to much for a phone.

edit: Did some talking and got it down to $325 including mail in rebate.
