Fifth times the charm???

[LinkRS]

Wow,

Just went to the Verizon store as my TP2 is dropping calls like a seive, and they are going to replace it for the 5th time! I got this phone in February, and will be recieving my 5th phone next week. Has anyone else had that many problems with the TP2 (Verizon)? I broached the subject of switching the device for a different model (due to excessive problems), and was told that as long as Verizon has TP2s in stock, the only way to get a different model is to purchase one at full price. He did say that I may be able to get a different model for "half" price by talking to tech on the phone and getting a certified pre-owned (he called it a CPO) device. I really don't want to have to buy another phone, so I am hoping that this replacement does the trick! If you have any suggestions on how to get Verizon to offer a device swap, I would appreciate it! Thanks.
