if u do get a refurb so what!! they are just as good as a new one, cosmetically and structurally. I will take a refurb that looks and acts brand new over paying 50 bucks for something thats malfunctioning at no fault of mine. You have to remember that when these places refurb the phones, they have to be quality inspected and such b4 they send them back out. You wont be able to tell the difference b/t a new and refurb.

Actually the warranty is suppose to go through HTC and not Sprint. It's like if you buy a printer at Best Buy without Best Buy's warranty. You would have to ship your printer to the manufacturer to honor the manufacturer's warranty. (This isn't recommended because when the manufacturers fix your phones they set the default to their standards and it can make the programming almost impossible when you try to activate it with Sprint. This has happend to me with my Moto Q.)
Also just because you pay $50 doesn't mean you'll end up with a brand new phone. Asurion also replaces the phones with refurbished units and only after they're out of refurbished units will they offer a brand new phone. How do I know this? I paid $50 to replace my Centro when my fat right butt cheek broke my screen. They in turn sent me a refurbished Centro with a problem with the speakerphone so I returned that again and told them to give me a new phone or I would keep sending back the devices with any minor flaws.
