If that were the case, I'd be jumping ship. The last company I worked for changed their name to "The City," and the rest is history.

Also, for relevance, Marcus' information is still current if anyone wants the credit.]]>Sep 8th 2009 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/

In the three weeks that I gave them a shot, their billing couldn't even handle simple stuff like returns and exchanges properly. Liked the Pre though. Would've kept it if sprint billing was not screwed up as it is right now.]]>Sep 8th 2009 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 9th 2009 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/

The $100 PRE Port-in offer has been pulled. The Palm PRE is going to $149.99 tomorrow, but the port-in credit no longer exists. Most likely, this will appear in tonight's Dealer Communication."

Thats a good point maybe people that work for Sprint are being paid by Verizon to be as bad as possible. When i got my Pearl i ordered over the phone. When i called to activate it, the lady was rude and didnt have the plan i wanted which was on mylaptop on sprints website. So i drove to the store with laptop and a PDF of that screen, and the same thing. I called again same thing. So i called cancellation department. Before i could finish the man there interruped me and said there were two plans for my phone, and what do you know, it was the one i wanted that was on their own website. I asked why no one else at thier company knew that plan, and he said people were going through training. I am temped by the Hero, but am scared to change plans, you never know what Sprint to do to my account. here is a girl on youtube that had a 7,000$ bill from Sprint.
Sprint .... why do you hate your customers? why do you want them to port?]]>Sep 8th 2009 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/
In short, my credit card company blocked the transaction (online) for my protection but assured me, after the third call, that it should go through and if not to call Sprint directly which I did, and that didn't work either. So, I end up using a different card and when the order was just about completed I get disconnected.

Calling back turned into a nightmare. The first person (and you know there's more than one) said he saw two orders in the system for me and that he needed to transfer me to another person. Person two had a very heavy accent and I could not communicate with her but said something about additional information, so off to person three I go. All person three could tell me was that I needed to go into a Sprint store and provide two pieces of ID, and despite my numerous questions as to why he would not tell me. So I ask to speak to a supervisor.

I explained the entire situation to the supervisor and all he would tell me is the same thing the previous idiot was saying, that I needed to go into a store and provide two forms of ID. At this point I'm too po'd to deal with this anymore so I told him to cancel my order and reverse the charge on my credit card.

So after about three hours I'm still stuck with verizon and just wasted three hours of my life trying to cash in on this deal.

Thanks Sprint!]]>Sep 8th 2009 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 9:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 10:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 10:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 8th 2009 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/Sep 9th 2009 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/sprint-backtracks-cancels-100-pre-service-credit-offer/
