Still on my original TP. Like a previous poster said, I treat it as a very expensive piece of equipment and am fairly careful with it.

My mogul was the same way. I bought it used off of eBay and it only had two hardware issues, both solved in the single new-in-box replacement the store gave me: The slider spring broke loose and poked up through the sections, and one of the keyboard letters - K, I think - went dead.

People keep speaking of crappy HTC build quality - I just don't see it, and I've owned PPC's as far back as the 6700. One single 6700 worked just fine for me too.

Here's some tips I use:

1) Use the wired headset or a bluetooth headset for calls. Don't hold the phone to your face. The pressure caused by your hand and head can flex the phone and damage connectors over time.

2) If it heats up and stops charging, open the slider. Don't let it sit there and bake.

3) Keep the battery as close to fully charged as you can. Li-Ion batteries, unlike previous technologies, like to be kept as full as possible.
