Today my TP dropped out of my pocket and down a flight of stairs. The back broke off, the touch on the screen no longer worked, and the bottom row of the keyboard was dead. I've had it for about a year and it was already a little ruff on the outside but still worked fine, up until the tumble that is. Fortunately I have full insurance, a no brainer with the old SERO deal.
I took it into our local corporate store, Cheektowaga, N.Y., and the guy asked me to come back in about an hour so they had time to look it over. When I went back, they handed me a brand new boxed TP, not a refurb. They offered to transfer my data from the dead one to the new one. I told them I only needed the SD card since I sync daily. While the guy was writing down the ser#s and such, I told him I had heard the TP's were being phased out. He told me that they have a lot of parts and brand new models still in many stores so they are trying to run those out first before they offer other models. He also told me that he thought they would be obsoleted by Feb 2010.
I really can't say I'm upset at getting another TP, especially a new one. My old one did every thing I asked of it except fly
. If it gives me another year or more, maybe I can get an even better phone than TP2.
