Retail Report: I was at the Sprint store (Dallas) this afternoon about 3:30 p.m. Place was packed; took 45 minutes to get waited on. I was shocked it was so busy at that time. Didn't see any Q-phone on display as last week. Nokia (6185) was taken off display since they don't have any and don't know when they will get them. The ThinPhone ($99) was on display this time, a graphite one. Sprint carries only black, graphite, and silver blue. They don't yet have the dual mode. Still have the QCP1920 (non dual mode). I saw one fellow who had a broken dual mode (obviously dropped and the area that holds the antenna was cracked). Sales guy had to go ask if it had been discontinued. The manager told me that ThinPhone is selling well; customers like its lightness. Sprint doesn't have any accessories but they can be ordered from the store or on the Sprint website he told the customer. I didn't see the sales people pushing the ThinPhone, btw. Rather they seem to be pushing their own phone or Samsung or the refurbished ones.
