I called Sprint a few days ago and said that I dont like the phone I currently have and am interested in getting the BB Curve 8330 but since I am not eligible for an upgrade it is about $550 to buy from them. I mentioned that other carriers were offering very good deals on them i.e. Verizon is offering for $99.
After a few minutes on hold they changed my account so that I am eligble for the upgrade at a cost of $99!

great idea thanx. will it work even though i am still in contract? like if i were to switch to another carrier and start a contract then fine and i wuld have to pay an early termination fee.
will they still give me an upgrade even though i started my contract only 4 months ago?

It worked for me even though i was still in contract (I was about a year through a 2 year contract) just make sure to mention that other carriers are giving a good deal and you would really love it if you didnt have to change carriers.
