If the sprint store attaches (read: esn swap) that new 6700 to your account (insurance or warranty replacement or whatever) it will restart your upgrade eligibility. You will *NOT* be eligible to upgrade. You will have that 6700 until you pony up full price for the mogul, or for another year ($75 rebate) or 2 years ($150 rebate.)
The #1 qualifier for your rebate is "Must have continuous service on same equipment for 12 months"
After that point the only chance you have of redeeming your eligiblity is *if* the Manager of a Sprint corporate store overrides the system to let you get your rebate.
I advise you to discuss this contingency with the Manager of the store you are getting your replacement 6700 from BEFORE accepting the replacement phone.
I've been selling Sprint phones for Radioshack for 5 years, and I have customers all the time that are in the situation that you are about to be in.
Just a friendly heads up.
