Uh nah, Im one those you know just go by the gauge sorta guy. Ya know, gas gauge in the car and the sort. But whoa and alas! a glimmer of poetic genius! I can wait til my phone actually dies on me!!! OMG! Thank You Thank You. I relly don't know what I'd do without you people. Well, thats what happens when you're born a little island out in the middle of the pacific. Go figure. hehe

I am wondering the same thing. I had to have a brand new one ordered for me because of a bad keyboard. I have not got it yet, but was wondering if there are any significant differences between some of the original ones and the new one.

My original one has a build date of Oct 17th.

From what I have seen, it's just a crapshoot. Keep returning it until you get a "good one." There are people that like their original 10/12 models...

Funny thing is, I can't count the number of times I saw "Mine works perfectly," or "No problems, whatsoever," only to find later on in the thread, another post from that same person, replacing the original phone...

edit: seriously, like 50% of people initially said they had a "perfect" phone, and ended up changing their minds later... iiinnteresting... I changed quite a few of them to reflect the actual defect, rather than leave the "works perfect" there, since it simply takes up too much room... but interesting, none-the-less...

I think it's safe to call this phone the most-exchanged-of-all-time...

I dropped my first one on day 2. It was wacky for a few days. Best Buy replaced it which I found the new one to be totally diefferent (Born on Date of 11/6/0. First off the keyboard is much better and it's actually lit very well. All the bugs the first one had were nonexistant on the new one. So I guess it's safe to say they continued working on them with each batch.

Mine is perfect.
Do anyone have pics to compare what is actually a raised d-pad. Im not sure if i have one or not.

I assume if you have it, you would know it, but idk, just got mine yesterday and all seems good to me. built 12-18-08

[secretanchitman]

had one of the very first shipment of touch pros (october), but i got it replaced in december because of reception issues (sprint auto updated my phone with a prl update, and it caused my touch pro to not get reception in my basement or at work...when i previously used to).

my current (2nd) t ouch pro has a build date of december 10th, 2008 and its been fantastic, minus the heat issues after talking on the phone for quite a while.

Got mine from local Sprint center 3 days ago. Build date 12/14. Raised D-pad. Very low volume from the speakerphone and earpiece. No heat issues while charging. Have not tested the heating after long talk time yet. Screen sensitivity seems fine. No major lag issues. Keyboard seems OK, evenly lit. Have not tested GPS.

Should I exchange it? They told me it was a new batch.

Thanks.
