Rejoice! Us old Sprint SERO customers (with 22 months in contract or longer) can upgrade our Treos to 800w for the same price as new subscribers!

1. First go here: Link to FW post
2. Then click on 'Phones', then click on 'Upgrade your phone'
3. After that just follow the steps.

For me in my 22 months, I can get a Treo 800w for 249.99 (599.9 - 250 instant savings - 100 MIR). That's exactly the same price as new subscriber!

I'm not sure if it only applies to SERO customers or any Sprint customers. I'm also not sure if it applies to all phones (didn't check the list one by one). I just want a 800w. Or Touch Diamond. Or 800w since it has keyboard. Or maybe Diamond is better since it's more stylish. Or... hmmm... decision, decision...

I think you got lucky. I see:

Upgrade price $599.99
Instant savings -$75.00
New price $524.99

FYI my friend told me he went to some Sprint stores in Montebello Mall and Santa Anita Mall (CA) and they have this exact offer. He got one for the same price, so maybe this option is better compared to waiting for the web order to be shipped.

Are you logged in to that 'special' Sprint website? Are you a SERO subscriber? Are you in your 22-month of your contract?

Please give more info so we can deduce which situation works and which doesn't work.

Thanks.

Yes, Yes, No.

The OP didn't say that 22mo is a requirement. Is it?

You're right, if contract is before 22 months, you only got 75 off and no MIR, sorry

I'll update the post. Thanks for your correction

Darn. 20 mo here. $75 savings. Guess I'll wait for the Touch Pro. Rate this is going, it'll be 22 mo before it gets here.

I was able to pick up the 800w on eBay for 300, no contract for me.

Can somebody clarify what "22 months in contract" means? 22 months left until your contract expires, or you are 22 months into a 24 month concert (2 months left)?

I was able to get the Treo 800W for free................I got lucky. I had them pricematch BB price of $199.(Sprint Store) As you know BB price didn't include a rebate.For the heck of it I also submitted the rebate.It was supposed to be for $100...............but a check came for $200 I have Sero.

This really isn't anything new. I did this a couple weeks ago and they sent me someone elses phone. It was already activated on someone elses account. Instead of switching it the made me send it back and sent me another one. kind of stupid, it just cost them more money.

Maybe I'm blind, but where is the link to click on "Phones"?

You're not blind, but you may benefit from a bit of self-reliance. You need to follow the link in the topic linked by the OP.

I think this is SOP (standard operating procedure) now. I upgraded to the HTC Touch Diamond last Wednesday. I was in my 24th month of my contract, and I called up Sprint to check on my eligibility for upgrade and asked whether I could get the same deal as new subscribers for some phones that I saw in the store. The rep said that now, if you are doing the 2 year contract renewal after your 22nd month in, you get the same deal as new subscribers, including all mail-in offers (i.e. rebates). The rep at the store where I bought my Diamond said the same thing. Maybe some reps are still trying to stiff some customers, so I think if you call them and ask them for it, you can get the same deal as new subscribers.

Good luck, all!

Exactly my reaction 1-2 months ago!

When renewing a SERO plan do you get the same rate as you did the two years previously? I am about 15 months into my SERO 500 plan.

I like the idea of being able to upgrade near the end of the contract. Thanks OP.

Yes. Just make sure you told them you want to keep everything the same. Also, doublecheck the rep's work before he submits the renewal.

I am on sero and past the 22 months. so far every rep has told me that I cannot get a pda phone with my plan no matter what. Am I just unlucky?
