I just want to start this tread by saying before I get flamed that im not one of these how can I cheat the system guys. My TP has had the blob and a few minor problems for well over three months but I didnt see it as a big enough issue for Sprint to have to replace my phone. I had read a few posts online about the blob eventually messing up the screen but most people said it had zero effect on the function of the screen....guess what, it does. After three months my screen finally stopped working completely (no longer responds to touch but you can still view the screen). This really sucks for a number of reasons....texting, task manager to stop active sinc, start menu, and many others. My question is does anyone know if they are still giving out new TP replacements? Because if they are only refurbs I havent heard such great things about them online and might be better off biding my time to see if they will possibly upgrade me to a TP2. Let the flaming begin!
