I'm hoping Sprint sells it for $150 with an additional $50 online rebate. My gripe right now is that Verizon offers if for $199 out of pocket with an INSTANT $100 online rebate and then you will get a $50 mail in rebate bringing the total to $150. Sprint's current offering is that you pay them $299 and do a MAIL-IN rebate of $100(and wait 10-14 weeks...) you will get the phone for $199. I've had my current phone with Sprint for 3yrs because they had a terrible phone selection at my 2yr upgrade point and I waited an additional year waiting for the Pearl to finally make it's showing on Sprint. If Sprint thinks I'm going to pay them $300 and wait 10-14 weeks to get $100 back and STILL not have it as cheap as Verizon I will be leaving Sprint after 10yrs. Sprint would be wise to have the same deal as Verizon. They have a good deal on the Centro. I'll be calling a retention specialist as soon as it's released to see if they can get me the phone for $150 out of pocket. If not, byebye Sprint.
“The general size and shape certainly calls forth memories of the Centro, but while the previous version was chunky and playful, the Pixi comes off more like its distant cousin... from the year 3000.”
