Sidekick II upgrade offer

T-Mobile has finally heeded the screams of its Sidekick community and thrown them a bone with a special $100 off the Sidekick II, making it $199 for previous Sidekick owners.

The only problem is that it seems like most of the tens of thousands of current Sidekick users want to take advantage of this offer.  If such offers were more common, there might not be the frenzy, but unfortunately T-Mobile is JUST starting to realize that not pissing off current customers by giving preferential treatment only to new customers.

Because of the frenzy, people have been having a very hard time getting through to the number you need to call.  I myself tried and first got a fast busy signal, but eventually got a recorded message saying there was huge demand and that they couldn’t currently take my call.  I guess putting people on hold for two hours would just make them abusive to the poor reps taking the calls.
