I was trying to get a replacement touch pro since my back button did not work and every time i got one i had to ship it back due to a weird fuzzy screen. So something tells me it is true. P.S. I got them to ship me a touch pro 2 for FREE!!! Brand new too because they did not have any refurbished ones in stock.
Refurbed units use "out of country parts from China"?
Isn't HTC located in China?

Whatever the case maybe, I wouldn't be surprised if they do something "fishy" with the refurbed... I was shocked at the poor quality of my replacement.

Got back from the Sprint store today - and they're replacing it with a brand new one thankfully.
