Return Photon and buy from Radioshack?

[Berilon]

Hi,

i just wanted to see i some of you here have any experience with buying a phone from radio check. We bough two Photons and thinking about returning them before the 30 days are up and buy them from Radio shack for $99.

What do you think?

Are you new Sprint customers? The $99 deal at Radio Shack is only for new customers, or if you're adding a new line of service. I don't know how it would appear in the system if you are new to Sprint (or adding lines) and you returned them, only to buy them again cheaper at Radio Shack. I guess you could ask Radio Shack about it.

That said, I bought my original Evo from Radio Shack on release day and had no problems with the process, other than Sprint's activation servers being overloaded (and this was at 7:30 am!) You shouldn't have any difficulty in that regard.

Who would be responsible if i have issues with the phone, Radio Shack or sprint? So far i just called the support center, but would they still help me if the phone would be purchased from Radio Shack?

If you can demonstrate the problem, or at least convince them, Radio Shack will likely replace the phone during the first 30 days. After that it's all on Sprint [locations with repair centers].
