Just out of curiosity, how long do all of these things last? Had mine since June...none of the frequently reported issues thus far*crosses fingers*

Wow, I never loved any official ROMs
Starting from my 6700 ->6800 -> Touch Pro

My friend worked for Sprint and his in-store tech could not believe that my flashed 6700 ran faster than the stock 6800 using the same operating system. Once I proved my point and directed him to ppcgeeks he became a believer.

My friend was also able to sell more Touch Pros by directing them here and giving his customers alternatives that the other reps had no idea about. He was also one of the reps that would direct the customer to the proper phone for them. He told me that the managers and higher ups reward the sales reps for selling accessories and certain phones and plans. This is why many sales reps do all of the unethical things described in this post.

My friend ultimately got fired for doing the right thing and helping his customers by not selling them crap they do not need. He knew his phones, he knew how to sell, his customers would wait a long time just to see him, he preferred to provide good customer service which is hard to find these days.

My first NIB Touch Pro lasted 2 weeks before the accelerometer crapped out. The Refurb lasted about a month and a half before the keyboard died.

Mine went 6 months - then the vibrate went out. Went to the store last Friday (late - around 7:30 pm) and they put in the order for a replacement. The replacement showed up on Monday. I asked the guy if it was a referb and he said yes. Checked the ##786# and it's not - brand new, manufacture's date of 5/22/2009. It feels like better quality than my last one, but we shall see!

I have had the pleasure of showing a know-it-all tech that Sirius does play rather well on WM devices.

Oddly enough, I have dealt with her since then & she's been nothing but nice & helpful ever since. Guess she realized you don't scam the 1337 :P

Marry me....?!?

Ha, but no that is badass, I love it when people get put in their places.

Good luch there bro, if one can catch a girl like her, he would be a total retard to let her get away!

agreed, I find Cust Reten reps are a bit more efective, not much but better.
