Update: The phone is now available for $199.99 after new 2 year agreement and a $100 instant credit, before an additional $100 mail-in rebate, bringing the total to $99.99

Dear Sprint,

Please de-fugly the UI. Make it match the pink or at least be neutral or white.

“The phone is now available for $249.99 after new 2 year agreement before an additional $100 mail-in rebate, bringing the total to $99.99.”

Last I checked $249.99 minus $100, equals $149.99. Must be a rounding issue.

I’ve since pinned it to Sprint’s site not correctly posting the Web Special discount correctly, and I’ll modify the article until I hear something from them about the math issue.

SRP for the phone is $449.99, you get $150 off with a new 2yr and an additional $100 for an instant credit. After that it is a $100 MIR to make the final cost $99.99 if elligilbe to upgrade or new lines of service.

You need to check your info. It’s $99.99

Guys, I’m not seeing the info for the instant credit after the $150 instant discount and the mail-in rebate on the sales page. That’s where the initial confusion started.

You can get it at Radio Shack for 79.99 with instant rebates. That means no mail in rebates for customers.
