I just got my 2nd TP2.

Was to go snowboarding with my brother two weeks ago and he wasn't answering my phone calls to set meeting time/place. Got him online via IM and he tells me his TP died. Oh noes! I told him to pull the battery and bring it to snowboarding. I have a spare TP I activated on his # (I am account manager), installed myphone and brought that with me. Turns out his screen died and the vibrator sounds like a dying cow. Sweet. I took his dead phone and gave him my spare. He popped in his sd card, signed into myphone and restored his contacts and txts. Life is good for him. I waited for Monday to see what I can do with this brick.
Looked it over, still great shape. No obvious physical damage - no moisture. Used myMobilier to see if it was ok. It was, so I activated it on my # and then it was repair store, harch.

The local repair guys told me they can't fix it and wanted to put me on a new phone. They offered me a Pre, a Treo, a BB, a Snap. Oh oh. Told them I really love the TP and would prefer to just get another. No can do was the initial response. Then a repair tech offered me a refurb that they had but also started to steer me to the TP2. I let him roll with his pitch that the TP2 is better and what can I say? I gave in and took one. They pulled out a NIB and activated it for me. I was pretty happy. (except for the stock rom on it of course!)

Down to one last spare TP though. Time to carry that one til it fails too!
