    There are a crapload of nice SPRINT PHONES on eBay.

    Samsung VI660
    Nokia 6016i

    Find the model you like HERE and search eBay for that specific model... there are multiple auctions for nearly every model listed on sprint.com.

    I've had success with this method when dealing with Sprint.....

    Go down to your local Sprint store.

    Complain that your cellphone cuts out too often. They will recommend "upgrading the software". Let them do it, then come back a few days later and complain that it's still cutting out. They will try to sell you a new phone. Complain that you don't think it's right having to pay $, yadda yadda yadda. Make a big stink.

    Then say..."OK, if I have to buy a new one, what kind of deal can you give me?"

    I got a phone they listed for $150 for only $25 that way.

    It seems like with Sprint, the bigger stink you raise, the more they will want to cut a deal with you just to get you the hell out of their store.

    What RocketMan said, plus make sur eyou do your complaining during peek business hours. The more customers there to hear you complain the quicker they are to shut you up.

    Bigtime! Go mid day, while everyone is there on their lunch hour trying to take care of cellphone issues.

    ya ive done that before, but the phone i have now they claim has water damage which is crap cause i never dropped it in water, so they wont do anything. I did get 150 credit from customer solutions but still phones are 300+ for the nice ones, ill try going back to convince store to give me some kind of deal. thanks
