Why when I remove my stylus doesnt my Pro come on anymore?

[CrazyCzech]

How many people still have the sensor that detects stylus removal intact?
I got my Touch Pro 10/31 and as of today, 11/4 the switch is history. This morning when I removed the stylus from its slot, the switch, a triangular piece of plastic about 1-2mm large with very sub-millimeter tabs on each side, spilled onto the table.
So I called Sprint first since I have 30 days to return the phone. They gave me HTC 866 number first. I called HTC and after about 10 minutes on hold, and another 5 minutes explaining, giving info I was told to pack up the phone, pay for shipping, and have it "repaired" and returned to me in 2-3 weeks. Unacceptable. I hung up and called Sprint again and they are sending another one.
Very flimsy....Sprint is sending a replacement, but I feel like this is going to happen again, soon, and I already expect to go to another Palm Treo .... Furthermore, now that the sensor is out the Touch Pro randomly comes on as the switch is in the open position all the time, messing with the screen and the note function during calls.
Grrrrr!!!!

Grrrrr!!!!
