I assume since you broke the screen you went through Assurion? They usually give out new in box phones from what I have heard, and I have gone through them once and it was brand new. Almost always, if it is TEP replacement it is going to be a refurb

4. New in box - lasted 3 months before screen separated
5. New in box - lasted 1 month before screen separated
6. Refurb - lasted lest than a week. Bad radio, failed test at sprint corporate store.
7. Refurb - lasted about 5 months. Now the screen separation issue has gotten too bad to use the phone efficiently and am taking it back today.
Why haven't you gone through advanced exchange and changed to a different device? I don't know what they are offering for the Diamond, but it's worth asking about if you are doing it again.
