Just because it was released later doesn't make it a better phone. I suggested they replace it with a Droid but she said that would be considered an upgrade (though I thought a second ago they're OK with 'upgrades' like the Imagio?) DESPITE the fact that the Droid has nearly identical specs as the TP2 (including a QWERTY keyboard) but with a different OS.

I CALL SHENANIGANS!

EDIT: I called Asurion again and this time asked to speak to someone who I could talk to about getting a QWERTY phone (I'm not gonna lie...had a Droid in mind the whole time) -- he told me to wait a minute while he checked their inventory for a more similar phone. Turns out the Droid seems to be a good match. WHADDAYA KNOW. 89 bucks and it should get shipped on Monday (it's currently Friday 2 am).

Now a happy customer.
TP2 for a standard DROID??? like the year old Moto DROID??? if your happy thats all that matters, but thats not much of an upgrade... MY TP2 will smoke a DROID.. especially saying TP2 can run anything that DROID can..

But im glad to see Asurion went out of their way for you thats for sure.
