I'm looking to sell my Sanyo SCP-5150 to get a new and better color phone. If anyone knows of any deals for Vision-enabled color phones for under $100 for EXISITING CUSTOMERS, please post. Thanks.

Okay, let's see if I can swing this around into a workable Hot Deal. I know, it borderlines on Re-post, anyway, but here's the scoop:
This morning, i finally decided to give Claire a call via *2 on my StarTac and when prompted, I asked for Retention. Got through, and explained that I wanted a new phone because my star Tac was about 3-4 years old, and since there are many providers out that offer free or very low-cost phones with new activiations, I was probably going to switch to another provider. After all, most providers have similar pricing plans and I could easily get something comparable elsewhere.
End result: I was offered an opportunity to upgrade my service to 750 Anytime, 3000 N/W and 100 PCS to PCS for $40. I declined, because my existing service with 50 Anytime and 3000 n/w for $35.99 is plenty adequate already. I rarely use my n/w minutes at all, and my anytime usage is usually less than 500, too, so payiong more for more minutes is just throwing away money. We decided to leave my existing plan as-is. For the phone dilemna, i was offer $100 credit to be used at a Sprint Corporate store and also given a free month of service. So...I basically ended up with a credit of $140. Cool.
I stopped down at my local Sprint store around noon and picked up the Samsung SPH-N400 dual Band/Tri-Mode phone. It is on sale for $100 with new activations, but I was charged the full $179.99 since I already have service. however, after the $100 credit (and if you use creative economics and throw in the $40 for my free month) I will pay about $40 for a Sprint PCS Vision capable phone with a large color display and integrated speaker phone. Overall, I'm happy. Plus, my contract was set to expire on 3/34, and now it has been extended to 1/24. basically, by doing this now instead of when my contract was set to expire, my new 1 year contract is overlapping my existing contract and shaving 2 months off my new contract. Cool.

The LG 5350 is selling for $149.99 at Radioshack. New customer get $100 rebate, but if you already try retention, you probably got service credit anywhere from $75-150, plus the profit from selling your old phone. Definitely attainable with less than $100 after everything is factored in.
