I was able to get a TP2 yesterday from the corporate repair store. I first went to an ASC which authorized the repair within 5 minutes, but told me that they didn't have any in stock and had no idea when it would arrive. Spoke to sprint on the phone, they couldn't do anything. Went to the repair store and showed them my notes from the call to sprint, and they also said it was out of stock, but would try to order it ASAP. The TP2 came in 3 days later. SO it's still doable, but you definitely have to find the store that's willing to at the very least authorize the replacement. Once you have that, you can argue your way for a TP2, even if it's not in stock at the time.
