I've talked to two reps now, and they both told me to take the device into the store to have it inspected and "repaired". I kept trying to tell them that I don't think there's anything physically wrong, but they kept saying that they could not verify that over the phone...
The other problem I'm having is, how do I recreate these issues? I switched to the ROM and relocked my phone so it's ready to go in and be looked at, but I couldn't recreate the problems described... They keyboard seemed to work fine, and it was a little sluggish but I haven't had any freezes. No dropped calls either, but I haven't used the radio really much at all since flashing...
I am tempted to take it into the store, but if I can't recreate the bugs, I don't think I'll have much ground for justifying a free upgrade...

the problem is you said you had issues, without actually having issues, and before you flashed the MR update... guess you shouldve waited to make sure youd have problems and what exactly they were b4 calling in

Today I called the 877 number and told them the batter wasy over heating again and that it would still freeze on occasion. They kept me on hold for about 35 minutes, but thats a small price to pay to hear" would you like to try the touch pro 2?"

and for those who say it is not an upgrade for the tp you are sadly mistaken... build quality alone surpasses the tp and is worth all the hassle and wait.

I did mention to them that if they shipped me another tp1 it would have been my 4th device, although one of the exchanges was simply because they sent me a broken unit They offered me a number of choices as a replacement including the Hero, Palm Pre, and TP2. Final note, my account was very recently upgraded to sprint premier...I don't know if that made it easier for me to get the free upgrade or not. She did not mention to me that was a factor, but she did comment that normally I would need insurance to get the replacement and she said that some reps may not have been willing to waive all the fees. Good luck!

The nice Lady i spoke with on the phone also said the Touch Pro 2 has the least problems reported. She's working in Technical Support so she would know!

Good luck guys and hope to see you on the tp2 forum!

Earlier this week I had mentioned in this thread how the number given in the first post did nothing for me other than have me directed to the Sprint repair store.
I went to the store well armed with the biggest known problems and one unmentioned problem as of yet.
After flashing the latest official rom it renders your "send" and "end" keys obsolete. Well it did mine anyway.
They looked at my phone for about 2 minutes lol and then asked "how much do you like this phone model?". I knew at that moment it was upgrade time.
I'll pick it up Monday.
Now to try to keep it in pristine condition so I can sell it at supersonic speed the moment HTC Supersonic hits the states.

since you were like the #1 HATER in here from the get, an apology would be cool, since in the end, you did this yourself too..

do u have a BS phone to use for a few minutes or like a day?? heres what you do.. take you TP1 off your account, activate a BS or old device, add TEP to that device... call back in or next day, reactivate your TP1 and the new TEP will carry over..if your worried about coverage, just call and ask after your TP is back on account to make sure the TEP transferred over.. its rare, but every now and again someone TEP gets cancelled when they switched devices.. again, thats rare though.... do dont any of this online.. just do it on the phone.. its fast,easy,and the CS can help you with any ques about TEP right then for ya..
do u have a friend with a TP1 in about the same quality of yours?? just switch esns with one another.. then its just like u bought a device because yours was trashed or something... this should eliminate the need to activate the BS phone all together... i guess its not proven... but it should work... anytime you activate a device on your phone, your allowed to add TEP, even if its used....
