Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

Oh those MOTHER ****ERS!

They were only telling me that bs with the Instinct to keep me as a customer. As far as why they would tell me the same thing with the tp, i dunno. Typical Sprint slimeball bs.

I hate how Sprint has turned into this sleezy company, doing anything to keep customers including lie and cheat (maybe kill? perhaps we'll never know)

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

Yeah they lied to you. It's 30-days from the activation date.

Not 'til get confirmation that the radio/heat/battery issues have been solved. So probably not ever ;) -- I think it's either the Omnia, X1a, or Treo Pro, for me...

HTC dropped the ball--that's why. None of my dumbphones got this hot, and not even my Touch gets that hot. They probably sourced the radios from whoever gave them the best deal--like any company would. Sounds like they got hosed on these CDMA radios/chips/software, and they have no solution.

Just food for thought.

holla back! WOO WOO

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

Whoa, someone posted they have a 12/10 mfr date in the build-date thread!

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

I got my replacement today. Brought it into sprint on 12/11. I asked for the battery cover on the one I was turning in and they gave it to me!

Nice...going to get some RID Black

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

Let us know if it has any heat issues. I had to go back to my 6800 and I'm starting to get a little switchy with having so little RAM....or it could be all the espresso...

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

I know what you mean. My Touch feels like molasses. I have TF2D running on it with a bunch of custom stuff, but still...

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

I was emailed tracking number from Sprint today. I checked, and my fourth TP is due to arrive tomorrow. I'll repost then.

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

Your fourth, eh? You better conform, and like the phone--no matter what, or be prepared for the villagers and their torches.

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

LMAO!

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

It's out of stock again online and all the Sprint stores in my area are saying mid to end of January before they have them again.

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

blah tel sales told me around feb before they would have it..... I dont see why they cant start some kind of back order list. as it stands i'm calling them every morning at 10 to see if they have any in, and each morning i get the dam blackberry pushed on me.

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

Wow. In stock for a single day. That's wild. Maybe HTC just isnt giving enough to Sprint.

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

probably febuary marchish

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

Frick, I had a backorder in for my third, and I didn't get a tracking # yet.

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

Mine had been back ordered since Nov 4th

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

Well this most recent replacement was only on backorder for about a week. Weird.

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

WOW! Out of Stock again!

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

lol that was fast. This phone sells fast. I dont care..even with the problems. this is the hottest phone on the market. the storm and bold dont have anything on us.

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

Placed the order this morning, just got the overnight tracking number. I should have it tomorrow.

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

I talked to a Sprint store rep today, and he said he could drop ship me one and I'd have it in a few days. Does anyone know if I could get one in this way or if they use the same system as the online orders?

Thanks!

Just got a big lump of coal in my Christmas stocking:

The HTC Touch Pro will not be available until January 11, 2009. I just found out yesterday on this inventory report.


This is from our regional sales mgr.

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

Got an early Christmas present this morning. And it's snowing!..lol Check the build date.

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

i still think thats an illogical conclusion. We dont know if they got in 100 or 1000, so saying theyre selling fast because theyre out again really means nothing without more information. Theres a huge difference if they sold out a stock of 100 or 5000, plus what number of those were used for swaps or people with issues with their first ones.

Honestly, id venture to guess with certainty that phones like the storm have still sold many many more units.

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

looks like a new rom version. Mine is build date 9/12/08 with a rom version of 1.03.65.3 (yours is .4 at the end)

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

I wonder what's the difference, I'll do some testing an repost.

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

does the kb still turn off after 7 seconds?

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

I'll save you the trouble. The newer rom fixes the over the air activation issues. It's the same otherwise.

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

Well I called in a cpl times yesterday (once only minutes after this thread started) and nothing. Mine is for a replacement within my 30 days (which was past weeks ago).

One rep said "no expected date" and another said "January 18th". I have 2 TPs and having one that works great and one that is a POS is really pissing me off. I requested a replacement mid November and keep getting told to "call back latter". After a 90+ minute call every time. Funny thing is, the phone has over heated and killed the battery twice while calling in about it. And to think, the rep calls the same number back and leave me a VM to call CS back to tell me to call back latter because they are out of stock.

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

No, it's still 7 sec.

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

Thx. When I saw it was the same Radio I was kinda dissapointed, that's what I really wanted updated.

The Pro is no where near a top-seller ;) It has VERRRYY LIMMMITTEDD supplies... probably from a low-yield during manufacturing... with the problems we are seeing here, imagine what the QC department must be seeing as "bad."

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

I also saw his PRL was different than mine. What does that mean? (sorry for being nub)

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

It shouldn't matter that yours is different. I always thought it mattered for all calls, but supposedly it's only for when you're roaming. Here's what I've read recently:

Definition from Phonenews.com:

The PRL is called the Preferred Roaming List. It is a file in your phone that has a list of all roaming providers Sprint works with. When a phone cannot find a Sprint signal, it checks the PRL for the first available provider.

Keeping the PRL up-to-date is not critical. However, savvy users chose to update their PRLs because it provides for faster roaming signal acquisition, improved international roaming, and, on EV-DO devices, better acquisition of EV-DO data services. To update your PRL, contact data support, or call customer service and ask to be transferred there. Customer service is generally not informed on PRL updates, and may not be able to assist you directly.

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

The PRL can cause problems if a major tower update or something happens. If your device has a PRL of 60608, it won't find EVDO towers anymore. I see 700w's all the time stuck in 1x, on 60608.

Re: TP no longer backordered! In stock now...
 

agreed it must be a nightmare the ones they ARE pulling off as "bad" for the number were seeing returned. Id guess they are having some manufacturing issues that are causing short supply as they can slowly start rolling them out again. I have major doubts HTC simply isnt producing enough compared to the demand this far after its launch. HTC has never been one to have major shortages in production this far after a launch, and no other carriers are seeing this type of backlog. My best guess is they too see the issues on the sprint model and are correcting it.

I think people simply have a narrow mindset from a forum as to overall demand by the public. WM isnt a high demand platform to the general consumer in the US on its own.

As its been said, PRL really is more important if you travel but much less if you stay in your home area. you may see one small change a year if that to your home area, but if you travel it can effect what towers are picked up and for data roaming in certain areas. I always keep mine up to date just because, but its far less important than people make it out to be. It cant hurt to keep it up to date though, but dont fret if you dont have the newest file you likely wont see any change in your service

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

all the people who have had 3 and 4 bad TPs those were supposed to be for other customers but htc built them bad :-( supply and demand? ehhhh

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

Hey snovvman, my name is BJ DeHut and I am a representative for Sprint. Thank you very much for spreading the news that the Touch Pro is available again! Happy holidays!

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

I've seen people get replacement touch pro's for pretty stupid things. Like there's a gap between the keyboard and screen? Give me a break. It's the major things that concern me, not some anal retentive OCD case who keeps sending back his phone hoping for a "perfect" one. Saying that people have had to send it back multiple times doesn't really mean anything other than people can be very anal. I'm on my first one (thankfully I got lucky i guess?) and it's got wiggle in the screen, a gap between the keyboard, and occasionally it locks up or the screen doesn't turn on, but you dont see me runnin for the sprint store.

Re: [Was] TP no longer backordered! In stock now... [Now] Out of stock again :(
 

I am really interested in buying the phone but its gone everywhere. Sprint store here in DC is sold out with no word on when more are coming in.
