From what they understand is after the initial 60 days they will be able to get employee plans for themselves. Hence the computers will allow for "other" plans. They did not specifically tell me that I will be able to use my sero plan but hinted that I should not get rid of it so soon. They say sprint has locked the esn's for all pre phones for 60 days so that you are forced to upgrade your plan. After that, it's all fair to satisfy any customer. Now I dont know how much of this you will believe but it does sort of make sense. These guys had the pre to sell to me but told me to hold on to my plan for a while, so make of it what you will.

I can conquer. I got the same info from the RAD guys at my local store. For the first 60 days the Pre is under an exclusivity contract between Palm and Sprint. No one else can carry the phone so that it drives business to Sprint. During that period Sprint is forcing customers to choose the most lucrative plans for Sprint. I can't plame them for that. It's a for-profit business with shareholders to answer to.

However, I'm on a $39.99 SERO plan + 2 corporate discounts, and a handfull of other little nickle-n-dine discounts for various reasons. I don't care if the Pre could suck me off, I'm not ditching my plan anytime soon....
