Upgrade Your Sprint Phone to Touch Pro or Diamond

October 25, 2008 · Filed Under Hot Deals, Street Smarts 

Many of my readers are Sero users. Man, I got a great deal for you. I just got the Touch Diamond and it is, my friend, the baddest phone I have ever had. Those who must have a keyboard, then go with the Touch Pro(left picture). Either way, I highly recommend it.

Now for the deal. If you can’t upgrade it for the full $150 discount, then use the Ebay/Live method. It was around $220 for me after everything with the Touch Diamond.

However, check to see if you qualify for an upgrade:

If you are due for an upgrade, do not go with Sprint. Stop by your local Best Buy tomorrow, and upgrade through them. Check here to see if they have it in stock.

Some Best Buys are letting customers have it before the actual release date. Many have gotten it already since yesterday. Not sure why, but there is also a 20% discount with this coupon.

Here’s the scenario:

Get the Touch diamond for $230- $46 (20%) = $184 or the Touch pro $239 /w the 20% off. Once you get the upgrade, go home and call Retention or email ecare about how you just renewed your plan and forgot to see if you also qualify for the $70 renewal credit. Keep trying until you get it.  While you are at it, ask them to take off the $18 activation fee too. This would make the diamond $114 and the pro $169.

**Another $100 rebate, however highly YMMV.

    You may want to check and make sure they didn’t put you onto a new contract. Those $30 SERO contracts are dead, and if you re-up via an upgrade, they likely put you on a 90 Everything plan. Even if you buy off ebay, many folks are saying they won’t activate PDA phones without a new plan. Playa may have been played.

    haha..lol. I’ve been in this game too long to be played by Sprint. You must be new around here.

    1) I’ve a Sprint family plan. So the SERO thing doesn’t apply to me.

    2) if you buy Sprint phones on Ebay, just make sure it has a clean ESN. Anytime you activate your phone over the phone with the CSR, make sure you ask them that you would keep your plan as is. Also, they must have your permission to upgrade to a 90 Everything plan.

    3) Many people have confirmed on other forums that SERO works and their contract stays intact as is.

    Keep hustling playa.

    Touch Pro is awesome. Tried e-care for the $70 credit and they said…

    “The Subscriber Agreement on the line # has been renewed after the handset upgrade, as the HTC Touch Pro handset has been given to you for free with two-year Subscriber Agreement. The $70.00 is only offered, if the handset is purchased for full price without any discount or rebate. Therefore, the line # is not qualified for $70.00 renewal credit.”

    I definitely didn’t get it for free (paid $240). Anyone been successful in getting the $70??
