How long on back order?

Was over on the Sprint site and they have the TP as OUT-OF-STOCK, any word on how long this will last?

What is the cause of the shortage?

You would think they would have them for X-mass as possible gifts

I just spoke to a customer service representative from Sprint who said that no more units would be available from Sprint until a couple of "technical issues" were resolved. He didn't have an estimated re-release date, but he speculated 1-3 months. He also didn't provide any specifics about the issues that were causing the delay.

I don't put a lot of stock in one conversation with a customer service rep, and I know I'd probably get three different stories if I called three more times, but, for whatever it's worth . . .

can we get the touch pro at best buy for the upgrade cost (around $300)? or do we have to tough it out and pay the retail if we want to get it there? I know people were getting the same deals from BB as they were from Sprint, but recently i heard someone say something about no more deals from BB....
