As of October 23rd 2010, Asurion only need be involved if the phone is wet(liquid damaged), lost/stolen and extremely physically damaged(broken circuit board). Other than those instances, it's an in-store repair/replacement.

The A/E, replacement, program through Sprint repair locations does give alternatives to the device in question, if the device has been exchanged multiple times within a certain span of time.

People with multiple Pre exchanges, for example, are being given the option for a BB Tour 9630(World phone) or an HTC Hero(different operating system/Android). This of course is just 1 example.

As with anything, time will tell.

ummm, NO! the TP2 is in no sense of the word, Flagship at this point... Phones dont keep their "status" for shelf life... Flagship means Sprint is Pushing to the Masses and the device is Sprints FOCUS at the time..... thats SO not whats going on with the TP2 anymore(Most stores dont even carry it anymore, its rare.. Telesales, Sprint.com/other online ventures, and 3rd party are only way to get them)..


Sprints last several Flagship Devices:

Samsung Instinct(June 20th 0 - was Flagshipped over the TP1(Nov 2nd 200

Palm Pre(June 6th 09) - was Flagshipped over the TP2(Sept 6th 09)

HTC Hero(Oct 11th 09)(Sprints 1st Android device) - also Flagshipped over the Tp2(Sept 6th 09)

Htc EVO(June 6th 2010) - Flagshipped - for good reason

Samsung EPIC - Is this actually a flagship device or just another great device Sprint happens to have????????????????


HTC Pro 7(once Launched)

Millions of dollars were spent in Ad campaigns for the device listed above... NOT the TP1 or TP2.. yes they had commercials, but thats about it.. Sprint never tried like hell to get people in the TP series... hell, the Vogue(Touch) was pushed harder than TP1/2's..


the TP2 will probably never be EOL'd by SPrint.. Discountinued and EOL'd are 2 totally different things.. EOL means End of Life - meaning the device will not be made, sold, replaced, etc... Discontinued devices are still readily available by some 3rd party Retailers, And/or replaced by Asurion... ie The Mogul.. discontinued for years now, still can get replacements from Asurion though - therefore not EOL... and TP2 doesnt hit 2years till Sept 6th 2011..

and btw, your 25% discount can be put on just about any plan..

a trip? i'd raze my hand high...
birthright? nah, nothing here but earned sh!t, bro...LOTS of it. paying double just isn't whack-off material...but tonitez game might come close.

nah, 25% corp disc CANNOT be put on SERO Premium accounts, as per Sprint website. if so, i just might go SEROP with an EVO or EPIC. got a hook-up maybe, so we'll see how that goes.

@ op, you should have did like i did. somehow the moisture indicator on my tp2 got triggered, the one on the side. i just pulled it off and sent it in for a replacement =) never heard anything about it from them.

first time I see someone get pointed out for bein a regular geeker.

[quick99si]

Yet another thread derailed with more useless SERO bickering On a sidenote, I think they raised the taxes/fees because my bill is now in the $34 range! And now we we have the prospect of a $10 surcharge for WP7?? Well gee golly, I sure hope that this Mr. Obamer will bail out us regular geekers like he bailed out them there banks and whutnot hhhhMMMMmhhHH

[Dr.8820]

Before the flame war ensues, Austin was pointing out that he, Austin, was the regular geeker. Now, carry on....!

in before the close....

nice blaming obama for high phone bill taxes which is something he has very little control over. this is usually dictated at the local level.blaming a president over billing issues is the most ignorant thing anyone can do.
