also without tep the deductible isnt 100 dollars. there is a device replacement fee of 119 dollars for those without tep, but youll allways get another of the same device and it will never be new.
at least with assurion, you get a good chance that it will be a new device or you could even get upgraded for free! sprint deffintly wont do that for you.

No, I think you are wrong. I personally dropped the first Diamond I got and smashed it to pieces and I got a refurb replacement for free when I took it to a Sprint Store. I think they are trying to tighten things up now with these changes.

Any word on what they're replacing with?

Yeah I'm getting ready to drop the $7/month TEP, especially with the new changes. When you can get your phone fixed for $35 without tep. Just don't lose it!

Last I saw it was the Imagio, but some users reported successfully getting an original Droid from them since the Imagio lacked a keyboard.

Just got mine in the mail today. It is a refurb. They only send the phone. My cable is also going bad but never got that. My phone had a cracked screen but the lcd was working fine.

Interesting, I got a brand new phone (with accessories) in the box from Sprint.
