I just got my HW Rev 0002 refurb on Sunday. They just gave me the phone, no box. I was fine with that, as everything else was OK. I DID think it was odd that the HW Revision was 0002 being originally manufactured on 23 Feb 2009, I thought that HTC had switched to a new HW Rev that made the bottom touchpad/buttons more flush with the screen.

While the phone works great, I'm a little worried about the gap between the screen/button pad and the chrome on the right side of the device. Also the touchpad is crooked and is raised above the screen on the left, sunken on the right. I know the fix is just to press down on it to set the double-faced tape but I would have thought a refurb would have that corrected already since HTC acknowledged it was a manufacturing flaw and tweaked it.

I'm just kinda leery on the gaps between the screen/touchpad, as we all know how durable the chrome casing is and it is already filling with grime.

I'll give it another week to see if it all falls into place before I take it back and ask for NEW TP. Luckily I'm friends with all the guys at my local Sprint Store and the tech said he would get me a new TP if I had any issues with this one.

But for now, the TP has been the most durable HTC device I've owned. My complaint is that flaws on this phone should be taken care of considering the price. Oh, that and the lack of ANY firmware update from Sprint to address the issues in their shipped ROM like the IMAP problem, the picturemail patch, and most of all, the severe heat issue with the stock radio.
