Well my first one was pretty all right.....right up until the mini-USB port went on the fritz. My second one's keys were sticky (not to mention that when I used it as a flashlight, I dropped it in the engine bay of my car). When I shot (& missed) on getting a TP as an upgrade, the 6800 Asurion sent me "tyyyyyypppped my messssages likkkke thissss...." It was stiff, rough, & just sucked.
I know the VZW TP is stripped to size, but the mem is still higher than my 6800, & considering I'm paying nowhere NEAR full retail on it, I think I'll be happy.
But remember to everyone reading this thread, if you go for the cheap upgrade to the TP on VZW, they're on backorder.
