ASURION TEP replacement program changes to $100 deductible

Just got a cover sheet and new Equipment Replacement Program booklet from asurion. Looks like the Touch Pro, which is listed as UT Starcom 6900/6950, is as of 4/19/2009 a $100 deductible for a lost phone. I don't see any phones listed under HTC in the booklet and will check on sprint.com

It goes on to say that payment of your TEP monthly charge after April 19 will serve as comfirmation that you agree and accept this change

EDIT. just got off the phone with Asurion, they comfirmed the HTC touch pro is listed as UT Starcom 6900.

So I guess my other question is, does that apply to people who already have TEP or people who just sign up for TEP after that date?

If you already had the original asurion plan your deductible still is $50. They can't change your deductible without notice per insurance laws.

whew... can anyone else confirm that? It would suck to have signed an insurance contract and then have the deductible doubled. Though I have yet to use the insurance part of my TEP plan. Everything has been covered by my ESRP plan thankfully.
