Yeah, I'm kinda kicking myself for not having gotten it now. I will get it with the next purchase. I rely on y phone for work but I thought of it about the same as I always did my PDA's and my regular Cell Phones over the years. I've never had any problems with them and they still look as new as when I bought them. I've always been one to protect my equipment. I hadn't taken into consideration build quality as an issue.

I do now though. I've been googling Problem threads on the other phones I'm looking at to see if there's any particular issues with them. If the Sprint store isn't able to do the swap out repair or if it's going to cost more than $100 to fix, then I'll just buy a new phone and I'll definitely go for the TEP on it this time and from now on
