My options... I need advice (stay with TP?) - Page 2

Ain't no such thing as a perfect phone (yet), only ones which are good for an individual user. I've got my subjective complaints about the TP but I'd have em with an iPhone, a top-of-the-line Blackberry, Nokia, or anything. I've had to work at maintaining a "glass half full" perspective on life and everyday things, and this piece of technology is much more than half-full to me.

(It is almost Thanksgiving, after all.

I don't know about everyone else but IMO the build quality on this phone surpasses any HTC device I've seen. Definitely a keeper.

aznmode what's that say about HTC though? I had to put a peice of tape on the bottom of my screen to close a gap on the other side, not to mention the tape under the battery cover...

I suggest you to email Ecare and explain your situation, i think they can help you! If they can't replace it for free, call and ask for retention and threaten to cancel. Explained your situation. Also, Search around and look for sero plan, the 29.99 for 500 min and unlimited text internet etc.

Sprint has the best plan if you have sero. Sero 29.99 plan is discontinue but there is way to get it. I compared it verizon and att the plan offer with sero will save you 50 bucks a month. Hope this helps.

I agree, if you put pressure on spring usually they will make things right with you. One thing to note though if you talked to retentions (or any department for that matter) giving them the ultimatum of canceling with attitude attached won't get you anywhere. I have done this only to feel pretty stupid when they called my bluff!

(looking back I shouldn't have handled it that way in the first place, but thats another story)

I suggest you do as suggested above with e-mailing e-care, and moving up to retentions if needed. Just remember to be friendly and explain your only wanting what is fair. Just my 2 cents.

i would keep it and sell the instinct.. though, i always like to keep a backup sprint phone handy just incase... you never know. i always keep my last phone, and donate the one before that.

and about build quality.. yeah no. its definitely cheaper feeling than their previous phones. the tilt had metal around the screen.. actual metal. the closest thing to metal that i've seen on this phone is the fake chrome (which is falling off lol)..
