Yeah, me too. Checked the debug info and sure enough - not a referb, but brand new.

Your only other option is complain like hell about whatever you can manage to complain like hell about and cross your fingers. Odds are it won't work, but it can't hurt to try. Go to the store once the new one's in and complain about the overheating while charging, and other things that are design flaws with the phone that they can't just repair, and hope that works. I know I got major discounts on my TP by fighting hard via email with Sprint over what a POS the Mogul was, getting me various discounts before I qualified for them. This time around while I have no plan to PAY for a TP2, and I'm mostly happy enough with the phone to not be upset if I can't get the new one, after the TP2 hits stores I still plan to go in over my failing keyboard and hype up the overheating issue while I'm at it and cross my fingers that their solution is to upgrade me. Can't hurt to try, but considering everything else, I won't cry if it doesn't work. I don't feel like they owe me quite like they did after the Mogul. Although I do think HTC should answer for this overheating problem.

I don't mean to come across as harsh, but it gets old hearing this stuff every time a new device comes out. "But I just bought the last one!" Someone has to. They have to come out with a new one at some point. Unfortunately for you, it happened to be right after you bought yours. Maybe next time you'll be the guy who times it right and someone else gets screwed.

Q F E
Come on folks - we haven't really seen much of the TP2 yet, and already you are crying over it? Seriously. For all we know it's a piece of junk. What in the world are you even complaining about any way? A larger screen is the only improvement of the device that I've read about (the rest of the hardware is basically identical, even down to the camera - but without the flash) - all the other hoopla is over TF3D, and we've had that port available for a couple of months now. I'll happily keep my TP, tyvm.
