Sprint this week announced a new Certified Pre-owned Device Program, giving Sprint customers a chance to purchase pre-owned devices at a lower cost. But not only do those who purchase a pre-owned device get a great deal, they are helping the environment by giving these pre-owned devices a "second life."

Three certified pre-owned devices are now available at Sprint.com – BlackBerry Tour, Samsung Reclaim in green, and Sanyo 2700 in pink and blue. Existing customers can purchase one of these pre-owned devices at regular price without a contract extension and without affecting their current upgrade eligibility status.

Existing pricing for the devices are as follows:

BlackBerry Tour at $79.99, and
Samsung Reclaim in green and Sanyo 2700 in pink and blue are each available for $49.99.
Customers with a new two year contract can get the Hero & Tour at $29.99 and the green Reclaim or pink & blue 2700 for FREE.
