No one is pulling the "holier than thou" card. We're just tired of this type of thread popping up EVERY SINGLE time a new device comes out from people that chose not to get TEP or want a free upgrade. Anyone wondering why this device is more expensive than in the past? Well, this very thread sure goes a long way to shedding some light on the situation.

Mr. 8820, I'm glad you aren't buying another device from the same company you're unhappy with. Smart move on your part. If you aren't happy, do something about it, and you are. I respect that. On the other hand, you have the other end of people who either use problems as an excuse to ask for a free upgrade or get themselves convinced that their phone has problems so that they can get a free upgrade. I'm not classifying anyone in one group or the other, but just because your phone has some problems doesn't entitle you to a free upgrade. I didn't, as you said, "throw my money away"... I was always very happy with my Touch Pro. I had a few replacements due to some screen issues and whatnot, but no more than really any other phone. That's what I had TEP for, and my 3rd device ran from March until this point without a single problem, at least for me. Everyone is different, but getting upset because you want a free upgrade, with or without TEP, is just silly. If they do it, fine, but getting upset because they won't? I rest...

well put. i, too, don't want the scam threads. i detest those as well. but this thread is about getting the run-around about a quality replacement. all of a sudden, all those who shelled out full fare or got the discount showed up. so, that's what i'm rebelling against. if you check the threads, i never posted in the "i ordered, i have, i sleep with it under my pillow" threads. i'm sticking to the anti-tp2 threads lol! i will give you a thanks though, you posted with your head and not your heart on your sleeves!

I'll raise a beer to that. It's just too bad you're a Steelers fan, lol... j/k. At least you're loyal to a team unlike some of the bandwagon jumpers out there.

lol, all good! i don't hate the people who bought one, but don't hate the people who didn't! some of these guys act like they work for htc or something. if i told you the nonsense i went thru for my 9th tp, you'd slap me for staying with sprint!

Yeah some people just have flat out bad luck, and I'm one of them. It just so happens my phones tend to go pretty well for me **knock on wood**... If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have luck at all lol.

I'm not really directing my frustrations at you, you defintely make sense because i have heard you say that before but the op doesn't see it your way, he wants another 2year contract and another htc phone. But i will stop now, it just hurts to read someone say sign me up for another 2 years and give me the same brand phone and complain at the same time.

i posted something before but retracted it. but sprint made me pay the deductible plus sign another 2 year deal just for a new replacement instead of a refurb. so now you see why i feel what i feel. and i've been with them 9 years. i won't push for a tp2 replacement though. i bought mine new thru telesales 10/30, got it 10/31, sprint store couldn't program it and replaced it new but it died 11/11. nothing but refurbs every since. but i'm not mad anymore, got alot of tweaks and hacks from this site and i'll keep trading 'em in!

What about the COUNTLESS individuals that have NOT had problems with the Moguls and are still working fine?

Myself included... 2+ years and counting.

Consider yourself lucky. But I was talking about people who get refurdbs, not still have their originals.

so all the sprint reps and the people here in this thread have all told you the same thing then its obviously you. you are the consumer, shut up and stop complaining. if you dont like it go to verizon where they will charge you an extra 20 a month. were all glad youre done with the thread so we dont have to hear your whining. shut up go get another carrier then everyone is happy, the techs dont have to see you and you can stop supporting someone pissing you off so much, everyone wins.

Somebody put this man out, he's on fiyah and on point!

Re: Stuck on defective TP1, Sprint BSing me on upgrade!

What about my case. I joined Sprint bout 4 months ago. Bought a brand new TP1. failed within a month and a half.(screen oily smudge). Headed to my repair store and they gave me a refurbished. I was kinda mad but I took it. Later another month the keyboard fails. Too it back and got another refurbished.Took that home and calls would not come in but would go out. Went to the repair store and had it replaced again with yet ANOTHER refurbished. This one is about 4 weeks old and still going. Only thin that bumes me out is its a refurbished and the battery cover is a weird silver color compared to the new ones. DO you think its fair to say Sprint owes me a TP2?
