    DEAD - Hot Sprint Cellphone plan - Employee Friends and Family deal (SERO)

    thanks, kindest. but i have this worry that they may actually cancel... just b/c they extended once doesn't necessarily mean they will extend again, right? decisions, decisions. so, if i were to get a phone and then say i wasn't satisfied with it, will they let me return for another phone...

    DEAD - Hot Sprint Cellphone plan - Employee Friends and Family deal (SERO)

    i've been eyeing this plan for awhile, but was waiting for a slimmer smartphone. now, i've read that the Q will be out in mid-January, so I was wondering if its possible to sign up for a plan now (b4 the 12/31 expiration date), then return the phone for the Q before the 30 days is up. is...

    DEAD - Hot Sprint Cellphone plan - Employee Friends and Family deal (SERO)

    this is a crazy hot deal... unfortunately, i signed a new 2yr contract with sprint less than two months ago and can't get any CSR to switch me to this plan :| does this deal expire? a few months down the road, it might be worth the $200 in term fees to switch over.

    2004 ELECTION... for a Digital Camera!

    got a lot of suggestions for the canon a80. did a google search for some reviews on that particular camera, and it looks like a pretty decent camera. one thing i didn't find was any mention of a digital zoom. i know that on other cameras, there is the optical zoom and after that you have the...
