Yea that $100 is definitely kinda tight now, which further validates my point....i really feel that 200 "Get a free Touch Pro" threads played a huge part in the hike of the deductible.
i'll ask again, with all the fraud going on...if it was your company, wouldn't u agree that a price increase was needed? i can't be mad at them, they would've been insane to keep it the way it was. but at the same time, it 'was' GREAT. i loved it. it was too good to be true. $7 a month with a $50 deductible to insure a $600 pda, you can't be that. and that's how i knew to never say anything too stupid to mess it up....but everyone else did an excellent job at killing it. hate to see it go but it's gone now. but it's understandable. if i was the CEO, getting frauded out from every angle like they are, i would've done the same thing....wouldn't you??

Absolutely. $7 + $50..ok. $100? not ok. I refuse to get TEP. I'll handle my returns with HTC or Sprint for 1 year, if it breaks after I'm getting whatever I can cheap.
I think it was more the abuse of the $50 replacements, and people using TEP as a way to guarantee they would work the system to get the hot new phone even if they were unwilling to pay the full retail price.
Maybe if HTC made better phones or Sprint required better quality control on handsets this wouldn't come up as much.
And yeah I do agree with your point to some extent. Its not baseless but the idea of hording every single tip and never sharing hurts the community. This community exists because of sharing, right? Its about helping now. There is always another loophole to be exploited.
