    Like I've told you before, go to the store that know you best and get them to call for you. No guarantees of course, but that's what mine is doing. Gonna drop in this afternoon to see if they have a shipment at all.

    I was on the phone with my local Rogers girl on Friday and she checked online for me and said if I was eligible for a 9700 like you have, she couldn't see any reason why they would turn me down for the Torch. I fear that might not necessarily be the case as the 9700 was not brand new 6 months ago, but the Torch right now is.....

    Has anybody actually gotten HUP pricing when calling in? I have called pretty much everyday hoping they have loaded pricing into the system for existing clients. I though that today, after seeing it actually on the website, they would have any answer for me, but still no dice. Anybody actually get confirmation of $199 pricing for HUP's?

    from my knowledge Rogers Office and stores are different entities...

    when you get it from retentions they get some sorta points system so they need to send it to you because they are getting the "recognition" for signing you up for the 3 years..

    if they let u get it in the store.. the store gets the credit for signing you up.. it's about business and where the $$ goes..

    to us customers it's a pain..

    I just finished my phonecall with Rogers online. The representative I spoke to first, a CSR, was very helpful and he took off my 500mb data plan and added the 6gig data plan and then very nicely transferred me over to customer relations without any hassle.

    Customer relations: Despite my account saying I have to wait for Nov 18th for an upgrade the rep I spoke to said I am FULLY qualified to upgrade to anything, even an iphone. I, of course, mentioned that I wouldn't want to downgrade my phone to an iphone. He chuckled. I have a reference # and a note was put in my file just in case. Tomorrow we'll find out for sure as I go to get my torch. He even said I could go into best buy if I really want to and put a $50 deposit down to make sure I get one.

    Yeah the girl I talked to gave me a reference number and put a note in my file. Didn't say anything about best buy though. Did he say you can get it in a store for sure??

    100%. Didn't even mention having to purchase it through Rogers. I made it very clear that I would be going into any rogers or 3rd party store to pickup a torch and nothing would flag on my account saying I wasn't able to do this?

    He said no, you will have no problems at all.

    You can only go into a store and pick up your HUP if you are a legitimately up for an upgrade.

    If customer relations had to work their magic to bump up your HUP up then you will have to order it directly through them.

    Atleast that's what customer relations had always told me.

    Rikter said he can't upgrade till nov so they had to work their magic and he can still go in store and pick it up...
