I've seen one other example from a forum member of this. Sprint is apparently shipping the 9930 overnight for free via UPS. Mine shipped yesterday and is out for delivery today based on the UPS website. Did anyone else get theirs shipped overnight for free? That's good news for me.
Yes, shipping is free from Sprint, also if you talk to a rep, you normally can get the activation fee waived as well, I did before I ordered mine. If you order from Target.com, shipping and activation is free and I believe it is the same for other retailers as well.
Yes, I ordered mine on the phone with Sprint on sunday afternoon, it was packed and shipped out yesterday and is being delivered today by end of day --- for free.
