(I've got his attention now) he tranfers me to a supervisor and i proceed to tell him that i have had it for 17 days, i need a replacement and to take off the bill for the last replacement because i'm not paying 600 bucks for basicly a diamond with baggage. he processes my cliam and i power down from super saiyen level 10 and allow him to live. but then he tells me that i will be charged for this replacement if i do not return the broken one.......so that means i now have a $1200.00 bill and a jacked up phone!!!!! does anyone feel my pain and anger???? on a serious note, i think we really must look into a solution for this common problem, is flashing our phones causing this. opinions?? please let me know

Sorry to hear about your troubles man. I'd be so heated...I just got my phone in yesterday and it was brand spanking new. I don't have insurance and I paid $55. I'm gonna send my old phone back today and I will definitely be monitoring the situation closely so they don't try to stick me with a 1200 bill!

FYI, I never flashed my phone a single time and I had the KB crap out. I bought it from best buy back in August of 08. My guess is, it has something to do with the heat problems. I stream music and always open the phone cause it gets hot. I think over time it melts something in there and causes the KB to become flaky and eventual die. That's just my .02 cents though..I constantly have my phone on the charger cause the battery life is so terrible..

I told the lady what was happeneing and she ordered a new tp be sent to me since this is a known issue
No problems with my new one
whats ur build date just out of curiosity?

Number 4?! Wow...I hope this one doesn't crap out. My build date is 2/11/09.

So im gettin a new phone... My keyboard crapped out on me a couple weeks ago, went into sprint and now Im gettin a new one on Friday Hopefully its not a refurb, and hopefully the keyboard doesnt crap out again haha

Ok so i rarely get on this site but my latest tp just had the keyboard died on it... this is my third one... my 2nd had the same issue... so they sent me the one i have now, brand new and it only lasted about 3 weeks... this is ridiculous...

I initiated a phone replacement online because of this issue. Crap... I hope I don't get a refurb. The refurb I got a couple months ago was so bad I just shipped it back to them and kept my original phone.

FYI for the n00bz, if the model they send you starts with REC then it's a refurb. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll know what I'm getting until I get the email saying it's shipped

This is what I fear:

Replacement Phone Information:
Model Name: REC UTSTAR PPC6850 WNDWS MBLE 6.1 SINGLE

haha I just got my 4th one a few minutes ago. Same issue.

Design flaw with the TP. Let's all trade in for Palm Pres. LOL

So I've had my replacement for about a month now and the keyboard is starting to crap out again. Huge lags when typing, it'll enter 5 spaces when press the space bar once. It will repeat letters randomly etc...

I've about had it with this stupid phone. How about HTC recall this piece of $hit and fix the stupid thing.

I'm just gonna get a samsung rant and call it a day. At least I know I'm getting a crappy POS phone.

I have had 1 with a bad keyboard and that's it. So far everything works fine for me. Sorry about your bad luck man.

Normally, I would agree with you that it's just my luck. But seeing how people in this thread are on their 4th/5th phone cause the KB keeps dying, I'm beginning to think it's more than just me. Granted, it's a bit skewed because people don't usually come on the forums and comment on how well their phone is working but this is getting a little ridiculous.

Add that to the heat issues and the kb, I've about reached my limit with this thing. I believe it's time to ditch the Pro.

I desperately want to love this phone because it has everything I want in a phone. It just makes it even more frustrating...

I believe the heat issue may have something to do with the keyboard. I have had my third TP for a while now and have not had the KB issue again, had it with the second one. With my 3rd I switched to the Telus radio which doesn't get hot and now I'm on Sprint 1.11.0.0, I don't know, maybe its helping or I'm just lucky.
