$119 down the drain...

[twentysixtwo]

Well, Sunday night my TP belly flopped from about 6 or 8 inches above a tile floor. The tile has a slight texture to it and the screen has a nice spiderweb pattern on it now.

It's less than 90 days old - I was hoping my Signature Visa would cover it, but after calling they said it's not covered for accidental damage. If my house was flooded, if it was stolen out of my jacket in a bar, or if there was a fire in my office, it would have been covered.

I do not have TEP (Let's not get into a discussion on insurance, as I believe in self-insuring to the max amount practical)

After calling around it looks like Sprint will swap me with a new or refurb for $120. I guess that's not unreasonable though I can think of any number of things on which I'd rather spend $120.

I suppose the good news is that any replacement will have a functional stylus sensor as I wasn't willing to send my phone to HTC for 2-3 weeks when mine futzed. Oh, and there's also some chipped chrome which bugged me.

Of course, when the $100 deductible goes into affect for TEP, this really isn't that bad a deal at all!
