I have TEP, would not even think of not having it with a phone this expensive.

As an added benefit think of it as an "upgrade" policy. The EVO is the first phone I have purchased in over 6 years, but I always have had the latest smart phone. I purchased a PPC 6700, it broke and was replaced with a PPC 6800, again broke and was replaced with a Touch Pro, that also broke and was replaced with a Touch Pro 2. That may be the list but I think there is one missing somewhere. None of these were made up problems, the phones legitimately had problems and Sprint was more than happy to replace them (some more than once).

I am sure I am way ahead of what I paid vs. all of the phones they have given me.

Also, I have never paid a co-pay. Take it to a service center and the replace or repair it with no co-pay.
