I have tried several different radios and updated some of the graphics though!

anymore????? great to hear some people still are on phone 1 still.

1 replacement out of 3 TP, and it was my original.. complete keyboard failure.. my other 2 are running strong though..

i love the suggestion from the OP, that just because of a build date means you have to turn in your PRO, how bout waiting till something goes wrong for someone else OP lol

Still have original (Nov 2008 ) . Works fine. Some scratches and dents but that's my fault not a defect of the phone.

Nothing really went wrong with mine. They were all problems that I could have easily lived with till my upgrade in November. I just decided to swap it out and see if the newer builds were any better. It's not really a hassle for me since I use Exchange for PIM backup, and keep my favorite cabs and ROM on my mircoSD card. It took me all of 20 minutes to get back up and running. If you have the opportunity, you might be surprised at how nice the newer build dates work. If it's a free swap and you're not entirely satisfied with your original, swap it out.

Question to those who got refurbs from Sprint. Does the refurb come with a new screen protector? I have an original TP and my hw keyboard is going out constantly, today I think it finally decided to die completely. Going to have to flash the stock ROM back on before I head into the store tomorrow but they already told me they can only get me a refurb not a new one. Have had absolutely no issues with this phone until the keyboard started randomly going out last month. Hopefully I don't have to go through multiple refurbs like others I have read on here did to get one that wasn't full of physical damage. I have never dropped the phone or damaged it at all so the refurb better be in as good of condition as mine is and with a working keyboard of course

I'll be getting my first replacement hopefully by tomorrow, I'm assuming the Sprint store already got it and is being lazy about calling me. Chrome finally started cracking (no drops, it was in that set of ESNs that had the chrome issue).
