I've never been able to actually confirm if a replacement is a refurb or a true new phone by checking codes on the phone, as many refurbs have been wiped clean w/ the OS reloaded. The only way I've been able to tell is a refurb doesn't come with a new batt, charger, etc. Is there a problem with the "new" phone or are you just upset because it doesn't appear to be BNIB? As long as the phone works as it should and doesn't have damage, screen slides tight and isn't floppy, etc, I wouldn't care what the phone was IMO. My TP2 when new was absolutely pristine FWIW but I wouldn't care if a replacement was BNIB or refurb, as long as it works perfect.
