Re: Sprint TP2 for $350

This price doesn't surprise me in regards to the history of HTC. It does surprise me in regards to how the market is shaped today. The iPhone which is pretty much the Cadillac of consumer grade smartphones is strutting its low end at $99 subsidized and $199 for top tier. HTC has always been viewed as a high expense almost luxury phone and they dont really seem to interested in shucking this image, except with T-Mobile.

I just picked up my Touch Pro for $99 on VZW and its not great, but at that price it sells. Assuming their TP2 has full RAM this time around as well as 3.5mm I would see $199 w/ contract a great price even $250 would be acceptable but $350 is beyond the pale.

Re: Sprint TP2 for $350

Well, I'm personally not chomping at the bit to get a TP2, especially after seeing the price... then again, my contract expired back in March so maybe once the TP2 comes out, if I threaten to cancel my service maybe I can talk them into a break on an upgrade ROFL... Actually, I doubt it will happen, but it would be worth a shot

Actually I don't think so. Picking up the phone and going through all the waiting and automated crap for them to say "no". Eh lol

Well, I'm actually considering canceling anyway, and flashing my phone over to Cricket. So if they do say no, I'll just have accomplished what I was planning to do in the first place, and if they do give me a substantial discount, then score!
