back when I had alltel I had a ppc 6800 and when the touch pro came out (maybe a month or so after I don't remember how long) I read something on ppcgeeks about someone taking their mogul in on the sprint network and claiming it didn't work and he got a touch pro as a replacement.
I tried this and the salesperson said they could either claim warranty and send me a free 6800 or I could tell the insurance company I broke the screen and i would get a brand new touch pro for $50 in the store since they didn't carry the 6800 anymore
anyone have any luck trying this on verizon to get a touch pro 2? I kind of want one but don't want to sign a new contract as I'm going to At&t sometime soon, and the tp2 would sell alot faster and for more money on ebay/craigslist/etc.
Yeah I tried this like 6 months ago and somehow assurion got a new shipment of NEW in box 6800s for verizon. I was trying to get the touch pro at the time. Why dont you just switch to att and get the phone at a discount with them. Thats what I was gonna do, I was actually considering the iphone at the time, until verizon woke the freak up and stopped crippling the phones and came out with the TP2. Best phone I have ever owned.
whoops, I guess I forgot to mention that my alltel/verizon contract doesn't end until middle december or something, I'm hoping by the time I switch Att might have the hd2.
and thinking about how fast the touch pro 2 came out with my luck I'd upgrade at the discount price and then a new one would come out haha.

Just thought I should tell you guys my Daughter got the Dash as her first phone and about 2 months later she cracked the screen... I thought how irresponsible she was... well come to find out there is a known problem with the dash's screen breaking, I had kept the old Dash and it was now 6 months later... I told T-Mobile that it was a KNOWN flaw and it is as this is one of the reasons they came out with the Black Dash. I told them I wanted it replaced and they offered me a Dash or Blackberry Pearl 8120 or a Samsung as a replacement, I only had to pay for the shipment. Now you do have to be persistant with them as they will not want to do this. But a week later I got my phone and they let me keep the battery and all the accessories to my old Dash well worth the 10$ shipping fee. And not bad unless you want to do surgery on your phone and pay more?
I'm just curious i currently have AT&T Fuze and was wondering when the TP2 comes out i can use the insurance to try to get the touch pro 2 since the fuze got discontinued and probably wont have any fuzes. I know its a little scandalous but i really want the TP2 and a little disspointed i just bought this phone only 5 months ago and i spent a good ammount on it to have this awesome new version out.

I bet they'll have plenty of refurbed Fuzes waiting there for ya.
Yup, lots of refurbs. So the only way you're going to get a TP2 is to pry open your wallet.
I was reading on the T-Mobile Dash forum on the T-Mobile site that some customers, unhappy with their Dash, they called and asked to get a replacement with either the Dash 3G or a BlackBerry Curve... Is this possible?
Let me know what you heard.
now im interested, i hope someone has the answer.
Someone should call T-Mobile customer support, and make their way to talking to superiors. Just claim that you are disastisfied with your purchase of the TMobile Dash...I don't know. It would be very interesting to find out though
I complained that the "a" key stopped working on my dash and I asked for a different phone, all they offered me was the 'o9 shadow, no other choices. I was tryin to get the 3g dash. I took the shadow since I already have a dopod dash.
Oh really?
How is the new Shadow working?
yes it's possible
you have 14 days to return or exchange a phone w/t-mobile. either defective, just don't like or whatever. i've done it about 4 times. you can exchange for a different phone, pay extra or refunded the difference, or just return for a full refund. the return has to be postmarked by the 14th day of receipt. other than that your out of luck as far as i know. outside the usa i don't know. hope this helps.
PS: if you have insurance on the phone, ie:defective, for a deductable charge the phone would be replaced. $6.00 a month
Thanks but I already knew that.
IMO the build quality of the old Dash is far better than the 3G. There is something very awkward about the new model.
FYI: They do have whats called a multipal exchange program where if you replace your device 3 times in a 3 month time frame then they will replace it with another device of equal or lesser value but they will not replace it for a better device such as the dash 3G or BBcurve. Even if talking to a superior they will only offer you a full discount with a 2yr contract or a switch to another device of equal or lesser value.
i recently bought a windows 7 phone from futureshop and bought the insurance plan. phone messedup and i returned it. they gave me a telus sgs fascinate. i bricked that. then they gave me whatever phone i wanted which i picked a htc desire. just a headsup, buy your phones from future shop or best buy and get the 10 dollar a month insurance plan. the cell tech didnt even do anything with my old phones. he looked at it, it didnt turn on, and gave me a new phone
So here is my story and I am going to make it as short as possible...
About two months ago, I had a Gnex on Sprint. I ended up trading someone on Craiglists for a Evo 4G LTE. I stayed with that phone for about a week or so before i traded that one to my wife for her S3.
Well recently she said she had been missing her S3 so i put her phone up for trade on craigslist for a S3. I received an offer that I couldnt refuse so we met up. That was last night, we are at the mall and as we are trying to switch over phones with Sprint, my phone becomes a paper weight. The rep on the phone told me that my phone has been reported as lost or stolen and that I need to take that phone back to Sprint. I was very fustrated being that we spent over 45 minutes on the phone with them trying to make a simple swap. We ended up cancelling the whole thing and all I was left was was non working Evo LTE.
I went home and thought to my self this is a HUGE mistake on Sprints part and I am sure that it will get resolved once i take it back. Well they ended calling me back and stating that as of OCt 24th my Evo was flagged as stolen. I asked how or why if I have been using this phone for over 2 months now. They said that the individual that i swapped my Nexus with never returned that phone after he did an insurance claim on it. Yet when I called them a few weeks later to make the swap with my wives phone they didnt say anything about it. I am so angry with Sprint that I decided to go ahead and sell my S3 pay the ETF and go buy a Nexus 4 on the 13th. I am a victim of a scam and they never warned me or better yet I dont agree with CDMA technology. If this was a GSM carrier I would've of never gone though this.
It sucks and I was seriously going to wait out my contract with them but after this.....no this broke the camels back and made me not want to ever go through this AGAIN.
BTW I was kind of planning on getting the N4 but my wife convinced me not to and to wait it out. Once this happened she was so mad at Sprint too that she said Go get you LG Nexus! I was like
Still though this just isnt right, and this can happen to ANYONE.
What would you guys do?
I would not trade phones with people on Craigslist.
It will not be long before you can not active a stolen phone on AT&T or TMO either.
