Two questions for you guys:

1. Are those of you who are getting replacements under warranty/paying insurance? I don't have either and I purchased my phone back in October when it first came out from Best Buy.

2. Are the replacement phones any better at battery life or anything better at all or are they usually the same quality every time? I mean, I could easily come up with some issue for my phone IF I knew I was gonna get a little more battery juice out of it but otherwise I'll just stick with it until I can afford to jump over to the TP2.

I paid full price for my Touch Pro, the shipper was kind enough to throw it over the fence and tear my screen door with the box. I called Sprint and had it noted on the account. A month later it died, went to the repair center and had it replaced with a new one. I went straight to the mall and had it wraped with invisashield. A couple friends poke at me for paying full price but is saving $50 (paid $200more vs. $150 ETF) worth being held hostage for 2 years? I think not. The TP2 is not worth the headache. It is the "latest and greatest toy" but it is no better than the TP untill they get the drivers for the video. We have dealt with the lack of video driver issues with the Mogul the TP and now the TP2, all have had screen and keyboard issues, HTC and Qualcomm need to get it together and finish the phone issues before Samsung's Omnia Pro slider comes out. The Omnia beats the I-Phone hands down as it is and HTC is next. The lack of the hardware keyboard is the only dealbreaker I have with the Omnia.

Im on my 6th Touch Pro right now and I know this will soon break too but really I dont care if I get a million replacements, if Im using the phone how a phone is supposed to be use and my screen start to flicker then yea... what u think? I want it fixed or I need a replacement. It in the contract right? thats what we put our sig next to right? I dont flash or download roms or any of that hard stuff... maybe something for the sound to be louder, change the background to black instead of white, put a flip clock on there and a few games but thats about it and yea I went thru 6 of em. So if my screen goes out or my kb stop workin or my chrome flakes on my hand then yea u be on ya 6th too so dont tell us we lookin for somethin free.

The Hero looks rad, no doubt, but I don't think I can tolerate on screen keyboards all the time.
