As always, folks who are cheap will find away to get around the system, but the rebate agreements clearly state the requirements.

wow a TON of inaccurate information. first off starting witht he new June 15th rate plans ALL smartphone/ppc devices will require a $30 vision plan OR an SEP plan (no more$15 data) the phones will HAVE to be activated on that data rate. Meaning they no longer have a price advantage over VZW and ATT's $30 data. If you work for sprint you can confirm this to be true.

TOTALLY 100% false. check Best Buy's website. The unlocked touch Dual GSM model HAS 6.1 on it out of the box. 6.1 is already shipping on PPC's despite what you think about Q3. There WILL be 6.1 on the Touch gps ROM, have you not bothered to see the leaked copy of the rom n the upgrades section which has 6.1 on it? For the Touch Pro? LOL. You mean a device Sprint hasnt even committed to carrying 6 months out, let alone there is NO cdma version of it yet since its barely out in the first European market? Yet theyre developing a ROM update for it with "Vouge" mentioned in the ROM itself? LOL

Dont spread mis-information if you dont know the correct answers. For someone who is in the "know" about secret dates on the ROM update you dont seem to be educated in even very basic information

@dbigdawg

What does it mean for people who have the phone already activated? Is this requirement only for new activation?

I would like an answer to this question as well.

I would say new activations. Because once you have a plan thats your plan until you change it, no matter if sprint decides not to offer the plan anymore they still honor it to you.

So, Sprint "leaks" thier ROM. You guys figure out whats not working right. Make new ROMs Sprint collects them back. Backwards engineer then they take all the credit and sell them back to us? Is that how it all works?

ok, ok, I gotta comment.. first off the $30 thing was in reference to the fine print in the REBATES for phones.... your not supposed to get any rebates on a $30 plan.

on 6.1, it's my belief that M$ is pushing to wrap up at least the wm6.x line, as they have just launched a totally different "embedded platform"

SprintTouch08 · #29 (**permalink**) 06-14-2008, 08:37 AM

well the point was Sprint is going to enforce all new smartphone data plans are $30 so the rebate shouldnt be a problem either way now...I dunno what embedded platform that is, but 6.1 is surely officially out there despite what the other user said before. The poitn was just for someone with supposed insider info on the ROM release date, he/she seems to have no clue what theyre talking about on even general topics
