well, it's a little shady what you're trying to do but i won't be the moral police. as far as i know, you'll be stuck with that faulty keyboard for at least 30 days from whenever you activate it because tep knows this trick. good luck soldier.

its actually not they screwed me out of a lot of money. took money out of my account for txt messages and data usage when its free on my service. they took 300 out of my account when my service is 65 bucks then they wouldn't refund me only give me credit and wouldn't let me cancel my contact with out paying 250 bucks fee and they would pay my over draft fee. so yea i have no bad feeling doing it.

Id just get it activated and sign up for the insurance, then wait 30 days or so then file a claim. But yes it is pretty shady.

Also I got 2 buddies with touch pros and unless their sitting down texting with both hands free the never use the hardware keyboard.

that's all fine and dandy but you do realize that the deducable went up because of stunts like this and now everyone has to suffer.

yea. taking the high road and kicking out 50 bucks extra for one with a working keyboard and all. but if it has ****ty battery life or anything im filing a claim and either getting a extra battery or *****ing until they get me in the tp2

You may feel justified in doing it, but it still
isn't right.

You will have to wait the 30 days...but you will
find that you don't need the hardware keyboard
much.

$100 is only for physical damage or water damage. As long as you take semi good care of your phone you will never need to pay $100.
