Those guys have no idea what they are talking about. The manager at the local Sprint store today told me Sprint was not getting the Touch Pro 2 at all. They are radically misinformed, even if it isn't deliberate.

Interesting, good to know. Typically, I shoo the reps away when they try to help me at the store (figuring that I already know more than they ever will), so I've not had much experience with them.

I can't say that something like this wouldn't be true, but this would be the first anyone around here has heard about it. I seriously doubt it is true.

If it is true, it is completely retarded. These devices are already so hard to get that the stores are trying to keep people from exchanging defective units so that they have enough to go around. If they drop the price, 3x more people are going to want them and it is just going to get stupid, because there are not enough to go around as it is.

also july 11 is only 35 days after the pre was released. many people didnt get the pre on release day like me. so that would mean many of those people can just return the phone and then get it again for the lower price or ask to get a discount on their bill. i really dont think it will happen.

Sprint has actually just announced that they are stopping the telesales for the Pre starting on the 6th, probably due to the shortage of the device. Seems to further support that a price drop would not be happening 5 days later.
