who here paid to get their keyboard fixed?

[tom6433]

my keyboard has been dying a slow death, and it has got to the point where i want to throw it out into oncoming traffic. i am out of the warranty period and and do not have the insurance. htc quoted me 150-350 to fix it, so i am wondering if anyone here has actually paid to get this fixed? did you take it to sprint or send it in to htc? i am eligible for an upgrade, but i am holding out for an htc android phone w/ keyboard or maybe the supersonic if it is actually coming.
