I just got a new phone today signing up for a SERO Plan. My question is in June when that new samsung phone comes out I want that one instead. Isn't there a way to change (in june) the phone that I get today to a store and get a new one? Sorry if this is a repost, but I'm sure some other people are thinking the same thing. My only idea right now is to keep switch from 1 type of phone to another one until june any other ideas? Thanks.

No.
You can only swap phones twice if you are lucky.

Did you read the part on the press releases where you need to be on a simply everything for the Instinct? I know its too early to say you won't be able to active on sero, but I'd wait til we hear more.

I didnt see that, but thanks for the info. I email Sprint about Sero I'm sure with some other people will see what happens. Heres the fine print if any1 is curious.
Purchase of the Instinct requires activation on an Everything plan. Existing customers can switch to Everything plans without extending their contract. New line activations require a two-year agreement. Instinct requires an Everything plan for key features to function appropriately. Customers currently may not switch to a service plan for the Instinct other than an Everything plan. GPS reliability varies by environment. Coverage is not available everywhere. Offers not available in all markets/retail locations or for all networks. The Sprint Mobile Broadband Network reaches Over 230 million people. The Nationwide Sprint Network reaches over 262 million people. Other restrictions apply.
BTW, I looked around on some other websites and from what I understand you can take your existing phone and revert back to your old phone. They will credit you back the discount so you can use it on the Instict. But this may be not true.

1. Wait till June
2. Call retentions and whine how you've never liked your current phone.
3. Repeat #2 above till you get lucky...
Or:
1. Wait till June. Work hard in meantime.
2. Buy the phone you want with money saved by waiting till June.
But remember, the phone alone won't make you happy! And, by then, we'll know all about the cool phones coming in the fall that you'll want in November!

Ditto!
Your idea about swapping phones until June was interesting. Did you think that Sprint was going to let you continue to swap phones for the next 3 months (on a SERO acct also)? People are always amazing me with their new ideas on how to scam Sprint so they can get something for nothing.

How do you get a new phone in June?
You either open a 2nd line, or pay full price.

The above might work.
You can do the switching, but you might need to pay an "upgrade" fee each time.

It would only be 2 months april and may. BTW how I am trying to "Scam" sprint? All i'm doing is wanting to return one phone for a new phone that I'm willing to pay for? I'm not asking for something for nothing.
