Looking back, I can say that I enjoyed this phone, but it kinda irritated me how warm it got on a long phone call. I feel like Sprint lied to us about the talk time also.

Anyways, yall think 150 is fair for a touch pro that never had a single hardware issue? Not a refurb...

sounds good to me!! i sold my sprint branded (verizon activated) to one of the pentagon police to use on verizon for $200!! he liked the way sprints verison looked but wanted to keep his verizon service

Nope, it aint stolen. I got it, activated it with the intent of calling asurion (Sprint's insurance company) and saying I dropped it in water. Did that, and they sent me a touch pro 2! That was my plan all along and it worked! So in closing, I paid $150 for a $400 phone. WOOT!

Oh so in other words you're just a scammer. Yeeeaaaaahhh.....

Can't say that I blame you though. If the system is that easily worked and you don't feel anything morally wrong with it, have at it hoss lol

Honestly, I would have no problem paying for it but when I thought about it, the tp2 is $449+tax which is $503.00 Then you have to wait 3 months for a $100 mail in rebate. That is just too expensive for a phone that has the same insides as the TP1. Also, if the TP1 didn't have so many issues with it (overheating, screen dying, keyboard dying), I would have kept it.

Yeah see, I had absolutely no excuse to try and scam anyone. My touch pro never broke and I had it from almost day one. Then on top of that, I wasn't even supposed to qualify for a $150 rebate on a new phone with renewal, their systems just screwed up and showed me having an extra year on my contract. THEN on top of THAT, the order didn't go through (probably because of this glitch) so I had to call in a second time. The woman gave me an extra 50 off just for having to do that.

So in all, I got 200 off this phone with renewal when I should have only qualified for 75 lol
