First post, but mainly doing it to add flame to the fire of the consumers anger towards HTC.

I've had a TP1 since March 2009 and had to replace it (the whole device) in January 2010 and again last week (early June 2010), due to Newton's rings producing eventually a dark spot in their point of origin that causes the screen to cease functioning.

The fact that it remains a problem for you TP2 owners is outrageous. This is the last time I consider HTC for a resistive screen phone; they need to switch to capacitive like everyone else.

Luckily for me, my original 1-year warranty covered the first device replacement, and my smooth-talking covered the second device (I was outside the three-month warranty on replacement devices; Verizon was being nice to me, I guess!).

Now if the screen on this third device fails completely, I have three months to get a free replacement (at an ~$30 restocking charge). The new problem is that I JUST STARTED TO SEE NEWTON'S RINGS FORMING WITHIN A WEEK.

At least I can just keep getting cheap TP1s!
