Well I used it for three weeks and I have to say it was an OK phone but Sprint had it overpriced...I had to pay $450 for it. I was not eligible for the $100 rebate as my $30 SERO plan was too cheap!
I talked to Sprint retentions and they said NO CAN DO! I told them I was leaving...and they still said NO.
So then I thought to myself...is Sprint CRAZY! Why would they think I would pay $450 for a phone!!!
Plus the phone has many bugs that they need to hammer out.
Good luck everyone with your phones...I think I am jumping the ship and getting an iphone.
LOL, see ya
So Long!
This space for rent.
Thanks for an informative post.
hmmmm
$450 plus $30 a month
$199 plus $80 a month for 2 years
$1200 MORE for the service and its crappy service at that.
hahaahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahah
idiot! do you also think a nickel is worth more then a dime because its bigger?

man, ive got to say this is probably the worst time to give up on TP2.
the unlocker for CDMA tp2s should be out these few days...and you're giving up now. ...
maybe if you weren't so mathematically/intellectually challenged you would have just got the 70 dollar credit first...then waited to pounce. Paid 129.99 no rebates on sero myself with that citibank deal. Even without the 199 price 280 plus 30 a month is killer.
Got the same deal as you and throw in the $ that sprint gave me for my old phone and it was $101 with all taxes... still on SERO and $101 for the phone... can't beat that...
come on dude, look at it in the long run. you'll be better off with tp2. screw sprint just buy the damn phone from someone on ebay in a few months.
what an idiot. let him go. simple minds deserve simple devices like an itrash.

Awesome line!
Im not gonna bash you cause i know you are doing this out of frustration... but i have SERO also $30 a month and i got it for $199 no rebates. Just keep trying and hold on a little longer. I found my TP last year for $200 on ebay... maybe you can find a good deal. Hang in there and look at the long run buddy

Eeek... You shouldn't have said the 'i' word. The guys on here are kind of dicks when it comes to that. I personally don't care for them (iPhones), but my roommate has a new one and it's a pretty slick device. Part of the early adopter fee is bugs. Give the device at least a quarter before giving up on it. I'd recommend waiting if you can, unless there is some way you can get your money back. If you are unhappy with the device because of the price, then it's your fault for paying waaaayyy too much for it. If you are unhappy with the device because of the bugs, then give it a few weeks. HTC and the programmers do a good job at fixing these things. If you just plain don't like the device, then absolutely ditch it. There isn't a one size fits all for phones and I can fully understand why someone would hate this one. I don't really like it at all in its stock format either, but I didn't like my other HTC devices until they were unlocked. It does seem kind of silly to buy a device and have to wait for programmers to hack it before it's useful. Ahhh WRT...
Ignore all the iHate. People ***** about how close minded the iCrew is and then turn around with the same close minded name calling. If the shoe doesn't fit then don't walk around *****ing about it; throw it out. =)

I got mine for free.
so I guess you'll enjoy paying hundreds more a month for less
theres a door closing dont let it hit you
WOW..... I think that was one of the stupidest posts I ever read. The Touch Pro 2 is one of the best phones out. And once we have the unlocker, the possiblities will be endless. Go get an Iphone and be stuck with exactly what Apple gives you. I will take the Touch Pro 2 anyday. And yes, I paid full price for the phone and wanted able to get the $100 dollar mail in rebate because it was only available for those who got the 2 year price.
Laughing hard...
Well I hope you enjoy the iWHATEVER...I used to work for at&t and got nothing but complaints about it. The 3G on at&t is so spotty its not worth switching. I hope you enjoy spending your time with an all eye candy phone and a crappy network.
As for the Touch Pro 2...I love it and nothings going to change that.
And I don't want to be told what I can install on my phone and what I can't. Say if I want the Google Voice App on my device then I'm going to add it. Don't want THE MAN to be able to say no.
dUDE THERE I=S A PROMO CODE IT IS BS220 CALL SPRINT AND TELL THEM YOU RECIEVED IT IN THE MAIL GIVING THE PHONE TO YOU FOR 319.99 NO MAIL IN REBATE.
I HAD TO ARGUE WITH THEM FOR LIKE 2 HOURS BUT GOT THE DEAL. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES, BUT I GOT THEM TO APPLY THE PROMO CODE. ITS ONLY GOOD TILL THE 30TH THOUGH

I could not have said this any better. This guy was probably one of those people who wanted to degrade this awesome device and turn it into a replica of the iphone. I cant stand that phone not only because of the service but also because of all the limitations. Yea they have alot of apps, but try downloading it on their inferior network. Good luck with that. Plus windows mobile has been around alot longer and has so many apps as to be uncountable. The price justifies its greatness but I payed 250 with the rebate only because my contract wasnt up yet. Still less than he was paying. Oh well.
There was a rumor going around the Radioshack might be giving the inspires out early - can anyone confirm a case of this? I had called two stores and they both said no, however if someone can confirm a positive on this - I will keep calling!
The stores were given strict instructions not to. Plus many of them have likely not received their stock yet.

Thanks, this is what I thought. When I reserved mine the guy said that the system won't even allow them to sell them until Sunday... but then again on various message boards there were people saying the Radioshack sales rep that they pre-ordered their phone with said they would call them if they got them early. If the sales reps are unsure of information, they should just not say anything.

Keep in mind that a Radio Shack employee isn't much higher on the ladder than a McDonald's employee. So you can't expect much common sense from them. lol

Well, maybe a little higher than McD's employee... but I haven't been inside McD's in about 12 years.
My Radioshack guy was way to "YEAH BRO, TOttalLy bro! Sick Phone Bro!!" for my taste. I'm not really a personable shopper... I kinda want to get in, take care of business and get out while in a store.
I actually just came from a radioshack after calling the store and she told me I could buy one...I was like are u sure?? She said yeah ..come over...I rushed over there to talk to her, she went back to get it and give it to me and her manager saw her...and said no! What a **** lol...anyways she atleast opened the box and let me play with it for awhile...thing is sexy! Feels so solid..camera is awesome ...and btw everyone *****ing about the battery cover being tough to come off is either a like girl or a retard...got it off in no time...can't wait till Sunday now! Ima pick one up first thing
Oh btw it booted up super fast, and asphalt 5 HD installed

man I was just in radio shack today and they wouldn't let me pre order - they said they'll only have 4 left after the pre orders so I'd better be there when they open on sunday if I want one.
Went in my local Radio Shack yesterday, and they told me the pre order deadline was on Wednesday. Anyhow, they called me today and have one with my name on it for Sunday morning pick up. I doubt if these people will let one go early.
I also pre-ordered from RS and have been trying to get them to give it to me early, lol. When I pre-ordered on the 8th, guy said they were getting it in on the 10th and I could pick it up then!
So I went back on the 10th and unfortunately there was a different guy working and he refused to give it to me. Bah! I think it depends on the person there, some people seem to be more/less knowledgeable that others.
That being said, just heard Costco has them now and are being sold. I'm going over soon and see if they sell them off-contract. If not, then I'll swing by RS again and see who's working tonight, lol. Worth a try.
Looks like the only chance I have to get this a little early is to drop by RS before closing on Sat night, and hope they're cool enough to let me walk out with it...
I don't know why ATT is making such a big deal about the 13th release date. If a store has in stock, who cares!
Mine opens at 10...guess i'll go try my luck
I tried to get mine today but no luck. I even said that I'm flying for business and won't be able to make it tomorrow, but still.

I tried with no luck. Radioshack has their sku locked so it won't even ring up. Very disappointing and a waste of a drive. Oh well 1030 tomorrow isn't too far off...
Called my radio shack today and no luck either. Was told they couldnt release them until tomorrow, and that they hadnt even got them in yet, truck was supposed to come later today.
WHERE IS THIS SURVEY ON THE RECEIPT? I can't find it anywhere - I think it might have been cut off? Do you enter your order information on the online survey site? If so, can someone please post the URL to the survey? Would be much appreciated, thanks!
I went in today and bribed the Guy to sell me one and he finally caved and went to ring me up....only to find out the sku wasn't recognized and it was literally impossible to buy guess I will be there bright and early. On a side note I also went in to att to ask about the price off contract as I heard it was 399 at corporate stores only for them to rudely tell me that because there wasn't a price tag yet that they couldn't tell me. Wtf att?? That kind of bull**** is probably why I will still buy at radio shack even if att is cheaper.

Got mine today from Radio Shack. Got to know the tricks. I was buying outright so that may have been the difference. He rang me up with 481.49 in gift cards. He will use those gift cards to ring the actual phone tomorrow. I waled out with a phone and was happy. I do have to make a return trip to get my real receipt. Radio Shack is supposedly $50 higher than COR stores on an outright purchase. I had a Otterbox Defender IP4 that I was given from there for Christmas. He took that back which netted my price down to about the same as the COR stores. If I did not have the freebie $50 off, I would have just waited to get it at a COR.

Haha, I considered that also, slipping the guy a $20... but if the sku won't even take, then I guess I'll just have to wait until Sunday morning.
BTW, I was looking at my pre-sale receipt and it does not mention the 2/13 release date at all - it only says they'll hold it for 3 days after getting it in stock. I suppose if you wanted to be a giant PITA, you could make a fuss out of it, but whatever... I'll just wait.
Hey guys, I was looking around today, and I found a great price for the G2x over here at CellHub - It used to be $50, they now go for $100 .... go get em!
P.S. - I got mine from costco, but just saw this website, might be helpful for those of you that still dont have the G2x

E-cell was selling the sensation last night for 419 pounds, the purchases rained down on them myself included...
This morning they have revised their price to 449, but still very cheap, its definitely still the cheapest around...
Just check Ebay and search for HTC Sensation, E-cell will be shown usually near the top

Well they are a reputable company with quite a massive feedback, and in the UK we are covered by distance selling regulations which gives us 14 days cooling off period and we can return within that time for a full refund or exchange.
I think 419 is definitely no money at all for the HTC Sensation

To be honest mate, for that price im not too worried 419 for the sensation is a steal I think
Even 449 is still a great price...
What i have seen of E-Cell is they get their stock the same time as others, so its just a matter of waiting.
Sounds like an advertisement thread to me. New guy + Ebay seller mentioned and praised.
If I find links to ebay in this thread, I'll lock it.

As it happens im not a new member, I was under the name of Jupiterdroid but erased my account as i have a massive year at university this year and would not be using my account as much.. You can even confirm that with Mick Channon.. So before you start throwing accusations around find out facts! I had well over 2000 posts with the JD account, i wanted it closed as i knew it would be inactive for long periods of time. So Mod get running to Mick and he will tell you the story..
I bought the Sensation for 419, dont you think that is worth writing about when the actual price is 500? Just trying to help the community when i can

Good buy mate
There isnt anywhere else cheaper thats a fact Even though they have now moved it to 450 its still the cheapest. I think they really undercooked it at 419, they had like 15 sales in 5 hours lol.
I know. I was shocked. Lol. I was actually In two minds about buying it now or a month or two down the line. Glad i got it now.
I got mine around midnight.
419....I paid that much for my dhd over a month after it was released.
I'll let you know how it goes once I get it. Now just hope these bootloaders will be unlocked. Then I can design my own theme and flash away

I would really advise you to be very careful when dealing with ecell.
Just google ecell ebay.
They have a very sketchy record with high value items like phones.
I bought a nexus one over a year ago. Had to file a paypal dispute after I found out that they lied about shipping the phone.

That does sound dodgy, but with over 600,000 phones sold and a good feedback in the high 90's im sure your one was a minor glitch in comparision.
In the UK we have distance selling regulations on our side, so if you dont like it, return it within 14 days and get a refund

Actually it is not 600 000 sold phones. It is 600 000 sold items with a vast majority being low-value items - this is how they boost their feedback.
The research I've done after I ordered my n1 from them indicates that this it was not a minor glitch and their tactics is based on waiting for the 40-day PayPal dispute window to expire. They come up with excuses as to why they haven't shipped yet or outright lie to you (as was in my case) claiming that the phone has been shipped.
Maybe they've changed their ways, I don't know. Just thought a heads up was in order.

your actually right, looking through the negative feedbacks im alarmed at the significant number of feedbacks regarding phones arriving a month late. im not sure now whether im going to go ahead with them. they did seem abit dodgy, only thing that was persuading me to buy was the 60,000 feedback

thanks for the info! this could potentially save me a lot of money!
I JUST bought 4 phones from T-Mobile as I switched the whole family over yesterday. If they don't give me money back for buying 2 Sensations and 2 MyTouch 4Gs....Armageddon is coming early.
I cannot believe the employees didn't mention anything. What a waste of time and hundreds of dollars.
Are you freaking kidding me? When I just spent $200? Son of a *****.
