This offer looks too good to be true. Everyone else is sellling PPC-6700s on eBay for $300-500. How does this outfit sell for $199? What am I missing?

You have to activate a new account with them.

No catch I can see beyond what Sprint or Verizon have - they are just throwing more money at it to lock in new customers...

How to Qualify:



All of our offers are for new sprint customers purchasing a new line of service & existing sprint customers that wish to add an additional line of service.



This offer is not for renewing your existing sprint account with an upgrade & not for just purchasing the phone on its own.



All phones purchased are only with a new line of service & with a 2 year contract agreement.

I see the 2-year contract requirement. But why do people pay $400+ for a 6700 w/no contract requirement? They can't use the unit on any network other than Sprint's. This isn't a disposable phone either, so I think it fair to assume that people will want to use it as a phone -- and not just as a PocketPC -- for a few years. So what's the rationale for paying $400 to "dodge" a 2-year contract, when you'll end up paying for 2 year's worth of service anyway? If you buy a PPC-6700, you're buying Sprint too.

Apologies if I'm denser than usual, but this is bothering me. Thanks.

People who are in the middle of a contract and want a 6700.

When I purchased the phone from Sprintnetwork on Ebay it was $129.00 but the price is much lower now.

I purchased from this Ebayer and was very happy. Phone the next day, and all the rebates applied to the first Sprint bill.
