a few notes....
-be sure to print out a copy of the coupon (login required) and bring it to the store with your rewardzone membership card. people who didn't print the offer were not given the discount. -get triple rewardzone points on your purchase (you're using your card anyways for the 20% off). -if you are a current sprint subscriber that has SERO, your line may not be upgradeable by best buy. they use the SNAP online system to upgrade sprint lines - they can also call in the activation, but in my case sprint said that i cannot upgrade anywhere other than a sprint store (i do have a corporate discount on my account, that may be why). call sprint retentions and tell them to place a note on your account saying that you have permission to upgrade at bestbuy. BB should then be able to call in your activation (SNAP will still not work). -if you are a current sprint subscriber out of your 2-year agreement that will be re-signing with the purchase of the phone, sprint will offer you either 10% off your monthly bill or a $75 statement credit to renew your 2-year agreeement. call or write to e-care and ask for that deal; this will not change your eligibility to receive a phone at the 2-year upgrade price.

Some folks have been successful at activating their SERO/Touch Pro super deal at Best Buy. Check out the SprintUsers thread.
I'm sooooooo tempted!
p.s. Existing SERO, that is.

I'm still under contract with Sprint for SERO, can I still get this for this price?

You can upgrade your contract and buy the phone at any BestBuy or Best Buy Mobile stores with the SERO contract. They can use the SNAP system (which will be changed shortly to something else) and upgrade you and when the system asks the employee if the "service features" should be changed they just need to say no. If at all fails, the manual call in activations work just fine as well to keep the SERO contract as is. (Just informed the employee you have an old service agreement that you would like to keep as is) As for corporate discount, this shouldn't matter either if the upgrade is called in, since there would be no change to the initial contract.

I wonder if we have to go to simply unlimited plans? As far as I know (from skimming through the spring user forum) it seems like you don't.

I just bought my HTC Mogul few months ago. What's main advantage that Touch Pro has over Mogul? Is that worth a upgrade?

SD has it on the OP post there. I would link it, but am not sure what the FW mods would think of linking an SD pdf to FW....
And no, I am not trying to be an SD (or even FW) fanboy. I am an equal opportunity deal whore that takes the best of what the internet has to offer, and owe allegiance to getting Hot Deals only.

Here's what coupon says:
20% Off All Smart Phones Best Buy Mobile™ is now nationwide - and to celebrate, we're offering Reward Zone® program members this exclusive offer. Choose a smart phone, on any network, and we'll give you 20% off*. Visit a store near you to see firsthand why Best Buy Mobile calls itself the Biggest Plus in Mobile™. You'll find more phones and more plans on more networks, along with skilled staff eager to help you find what you need. Act now. Offer valid 10/5/08 - 11/1/08, in store only. * Smart phone offer does not include Apple iPhone 3G or Unlocked Phones. Instant savings on phones require activation through Best Buy of new lines of service with 2-year agreement on each line, or a 2-year agreement for qualified existing customers. Activation of a data plan required for savings. See a Mobile Phone Specialist for details. Limit 5 phones per customer. No dealers. Service available in New Jersey. Carriers and phones vary by store. Subject to the terms and conditions of the carrier agreement, including, as applicable, activation fees, credit approval and termination fees. Closeout SKUs not included.

It sounds like existing customers can get this offer if they re-up their contract. I am eligible for my new equipment rebate and and I can re-up my contract I think I'm gonna give it a try. I might even call customer service and see if they will match it. It's worth a try... I will report back my results. Best of luck to all others.
Customer Service says street date is Nov 2nd. I am getting bright and early in the morning to do early voting and now stop by Worst Try.

Thanks SirRadiodude! "Service available in New Jersey." means not available in other states?

Green because I want one even though I don't think I'm going to buy one quite yet but 20% off is quite tempting and I could use a line just dedicated to tethering and put my treo800 on it with wmwifirouter...

Wait...so if I have an existing SERO line out of contract, I just walk in and can upgrade to the touch pro for $299 (or $240 with this coupon)? Certainly worth a shot. It's time to put to Mogul on eBay.
Edit: Apparently I can
