The only thing good coming from the TP2 is a price cut for the TP and maybe I can cancel my TEP.

Ouch!!!! Does Sprint really want to sell this phones? or do they just want to say they have them??? The way their customer service is I don't think I'll be jumping ship with this one until I see a price drop.

Oh yeah....that was the nail in the coffin for me. Definitely not getting the TP2 anytime soon now.

Verizon has always been notorious for outrageous prices on their PDA's until they see lower demands or they need to clear out inventory for the next best thing. I really hope that they pose a lower price and show the other companies some competition.

don't bring me down man ><
I am happy enough that the touch pro is being given away before sprints that coudl be a good sign
heck all carriers could be 350 with 2 year agreement though...

You mean $350 after $100 mail in rebate :angry7:

Noir 08-31-2009 04:30 PM

Re: Sprint TP2 for $350
 
after!?
oi vey sprint lost their lovely little minds! why would they do that when the vzw touch pro is like 30 dollars final price?
To me it seems like sprint feels the touch pro is still relevant to people...I guess this is one good point for vzw touch pro
it is cheaper now than sprint's touch pro and I am hoping that translates into a cheaper touch pro 2

hypeo 08-31-2009 04:31 PM

Re: Sprint TP2 for $350
 
I wonder if T-Mobile is doing well selling their TP2 at $350 that sprint decided to emulate them.

Mylt1 08-31-2009 04:32 PM

Re: Sprint TP2 for $350
 
$30 for a new line or new 2 year contract. its still $99 with a mail in rebate.

One thing about the VZ TP is that they cut the device in half on the memory so they should cut the price in half. $99 is a very good price for that phone on the VZ network. It was a Piece of poop to begin with.

all the more reason for me to argue that the verizon touch pro 2 just may be the cheaper device at 350 for 2 year contract
that is the expected price for me

Recession!!! How do they expect to to attract more customers with prices like that??

Oh Yes!!! and the new crack berry Storm 2 just got slapped with a $99 price tag... That will certainly be beneficial to them. Many people are getting tired of the WM OS and are either going with Crap Berry's or Palm.

If only VZ would get the IPhone, That would almost spell doom for sprint and other companies.

also why winmo has the element of surprise but the fact that the touch pro is so cheap on vzw site gives me hope

every commercial i see for VZN now is crackberry. i havent even seen a plane ol "can you hear me now" one in probably 2 months or more.

its only cheap cause the replacement is on its way and they dont want to get stuck with left over crippled TP's.

Re: Sprint TP2 for $350
 
im just waiting to see the omina II. i may give up on HTC unless mem is an issue.

Sprint will start high, and if sales are lacking, they can always drop their price in a heartbeat.
I don't remember that ever happening before, but nothing's etched in stone.

We are all hoping this happens.. My contract don't end until November so I have a couple of months to keep an eye out for pricing! I'm having so much trouble with my TP right now, I'm on my 4th replacement because of keyboard issues its ridiculous. I would hope for an exchange but that would be asking too much!!

Mylt1 08-31-2009 05:06 PM

Re: Sprint TP2 for $350
 
they charge that high a price at the onset to get the money from people that have to have the newest thing right now. you wont see prices drop till AT LEAST after the first of the year and even then i bet you wont see it till about the middle of 2nd quarter or even the end of it.

Well I can wait for xmas or next year my Bday but this phone don't appeal to me with that outrageous price!! I don't want to pay 350 for a small increase on my screen.

Mylt1 08-31-2009 05:19 PM

Re: Sprint TP2 for $350
 
for us VZN users its a little more than just a larger screen though. we actually get the full amount of mem. i still have well over a year before my "new every 2" but until then i will just stick with the TP till i get there or they run out of VZN TP's at asurion. knock on wood, im still using my OG TP with no issues other than a small divot in the screen from when i got out of the truck and forget it was on my lap. OOOPS. other than that she chugs along just fine.

I get a feeling that people won't be jumping all over the Pro 2 like they did with the Pro.
I may be wrong, but if I am right, look for prices to drop in a short period of time.

I tend to agree with you. The Sprint Rep at my local store said that it would be online only so I don't think they are really trying to sell it except to people like us that bought the TP and I wouldn't pay that much for a small upgrade. I think the price will drop 150 before christmas

jjday7 08-31-2009 08:36 PM

Re: Sprint TP2 for $350
 
just curious and I have to throw the question out there. How many of you would leave sprint and just get the tmobile one for 149.00 on the windows mobile deal?

mikejones13 08-31-2009 08:38 PM

Re: Sprint TP2 for $350
 
If I didn't have a sero plan I would jump all over tmobile deal, but since my contract is up in a couple of days I am just gonna have to fight sprint to get the TP2 and get rid of this TP I got now

savior02 08-31-2009 08:45 PM

Re: Sprint TP2 for $350
 
350 ha not worth it I'm going to hold up for a real upgrade like a new winmo capacitIve device
