Looks Like My TP2/SPRINT Days are Over

[DaveTN]

And so it goes...

TP2 #7 arrived today and I went an picked it up....and the keyboard was bad. Yep, quality control at its best.

So, the technician took apart #6 and scavanged the keyboard from it and then disassembled #7 and there was crud inside of it! She wouldn't say that it was water damage but the indicator on the outside of the battery compartment was gone AND the one on the inside housing was BRIGHT RED!! However, the one on the motherboard was still pink. So, she peeled off the plastic backing from the KB and cleaned it and it still didn't work so she ended up swapping with #6.

No blue spots on #7's screen but it does have the rainbow/oil slick, however, she told me that that was "normal for refurbs". IMHO, its due to moisture as was clearly indicated by the completely red moisture indicator.

I'll tell you what though. The tech was GORGEOUS and in her early to mid 20's and she tore into that TP2 like there was no tomorrow. I smalltalked while she was working on it and asked how many she had worked on before and she said it was her first TP2.

So, # 71/2 is now sitting on my desk getting synced and I guess I'll see how this goes....

Nope, pure southern charm with long wavy brown hair and the most beautiful eyes I think I've ever seen.

honestly this thread is like a soap opera. LOL! Crossing fingers this one works for you.

The soap opera has ended.

After over a month of frustration and 7+ touchpro 2's, loss of 70% of my hair and the rest turning gray, I no longer have a TP2.

I was able to go month to month on a data plan and use the EVO that I bought from one of my classmates and keep my monthly cost reasonably close to what I have been paying.

Its been a tremendously frustrating ride but I guess you get the luck of the draw in who you talk to and the two reps I talked to today seemed to want to be more helpful than anyone that I've spoken with at sprint since this all started.

Anyone want to buy a TP2?

If I had to compare to anyone without actually being that person, I would have to say 99.95% Julia Roberts. Extremely close comarison. Probably a couple inches shorter.
