Sprint warranty is 1. not transferrable 2. only if you buy it from a sprint store 3. 30 days I think. There is a 1 year HTC warranty, but I did NOT want to go that route unless I had to, as reports from people who have show that HTC takes forever to fix phones and send them back.
However, I do have good news. So I go into the sprint store, tell them the story and whatnot, obviously omitting the hard-spl unlocking part. The guy is cranky but nice enough; he takes it in the back, comes back in 5 minutes and says 'you're in luck; the system has not updated yet and the previous owner is still listed, so the warranty is still valid. come back in an hour.' I come back in an hour, pick up a brand new TP2 for free, and I'm on my way.
**** yea.
