the limit on exchanges is over come by simply going into a store... its just means it cant be advandced exchanged by phone. a tech has to look at it.. as long as you have real issues, they have to do it if your in the store.. stores do have different authorties than Sprint itself,by phone... the Manager really does have the power to only offer you refurb, but when they go to put the claim in, the list will pop up prompting them to opt you out of the TP1... where they have the TP2 in stock is another question.. it is possible to have them note your account at the store, then you check with sprint to see if you can get one shipped instead.. that might be a stretch though..
if you walk into a store with genuine issues, they have 2 choices only.. REPAIR IT or REPLACE IT- prime example: very recent post
