In other words, HP/Palm does NOT say to Sprint, "You can have a bunch of our phones and just pay us after people buy them from you and haven't returned them in the first 30 days. Till then, we'll cover the cost." Instead, Sprint has to cover the cost up front. If someone returns a phone, Sprint would ask HP for the money back, not vice-versa.
Hi either that or Sprint said to HP, we found that slab phones are selling better and we want only a slab phone????
We may never know the really reason...take care,
