Yeah I tried to go in there the 18th and tried to sign up with an upgrade and a print out from they’re own website stating the phone was $99 with a contract. The very rude manager at that time wouldn’t give me the deal because he said it wasn’t “ethical.”

I went in and asked for a price adjustment. The woman did it without a problem. I didn’t even need the credit card. She just scanned the receipt and typed a few things on the keyboard. $86 credited back to the card.

Yea, they said it would be done online through sprint.com or in person at a sprint store, just not OTA. Thats no big deal really. Who wants to take that chance in downloading a 256MB ROM file OTA and getting it corrupted. I’d rather do it over my home internet connection plugged into my computer. Kinda like Apple does their iphone updates.

yeah but then you actually have to set foot in a RadioShack.

I though Sprint said they will update both phones to a new Android OS. Yes, they haven’t said when but at leats they are planning to do so. HTC even said the Hero will skip 1.6 & go str8 to 2.0.

You can always return it and buy it again… that’s what I did to get the discount.

RadioShack only offers instant rebates as well. And a lot of the time they are cheaper.

I think they price match for 14 days. Check with your local store.

Oh man! I just got a Samsung Moment 2 days ago from a BB Mobile. Do they do one of those 30 day price matching things?

yeah, I wouldn’t touch these phones with a ten foot pole. :)
