whats the best deal I can get from sprint?

Sorry to hear that Zenkar. Sprint still seems stuck on "deals for new customers only" mode. If you switch to VZW for a 30 day trial, then call Sprint back up about porting your number, you'll probably get some better deals on phones. IF you want to go through all that hassle...

I'm on old SERO, so I don't mess with Sprint anymore for phones. I'm too nervous someone will "update" my plan for me.

Going through eBay (buyer beware) I was able to place an order for the Pro for $445.99 (about $120 off Sprint unsubsidized price). I had a 10% ebay coupon, so price out the door was $404.99. I just got confirmation for my MS Live discount, and I'll be credited $112.50.
Total cost for Pro will be $292.49.
No contract extension, or messing with my SERO. No hassling with Sprint. The phone is mine. I can switch to Alltel or VZW if/when Sprint goes belly up.

Good luck!
