Its before you put in your credit card info. You can check without making the claim

I'm really sorry for anyone who hasnt been able to get a TP2 through sprint. But, I got one a month ago and I really missed the led flashlight and the dpad. I use the flashlight everywhere. So I went back to the store and got them to order me a refurb tp1. They looked at me like I was retarded but they obliged. Just got it and I have to say that I really am happier with the original TP

wow, i miss the light too but the size of the screen undoubtedly out ways a f-in flashlight. d-pad i haven't missed yet. it was always kind of weird for me how easy it was to push the wrong direction or function with it being all one piece. if i really need to push buttons i slide the keyboard open and use the arrows on it.

you know there are hundreds of people trying to get into a touch pro 2 who have brand new refurbished touch pro's. you could have just traded someone who is having a hell of a time and made someones day.

i was thinking that when you slide the keyboard out, you can use the arrows which functions like the dpad, and a keychain flashlight! i bet one of the reps kept it lol!

I got my TP2 on Thursday... I stopped in at the Sprint store on Monday complaining of the common issues, and immediately the tech (female, and good lookin) said that the issues were all the standard known issues with the TP. She said that the TP2 wasn't available, but would keep checking. I called back on Tuesday and she said she was able to put one on "hold". But still not available! Then on Thursday afternoon, I got a phone call saying I can come pick up my TP2. Haven't had time to check if it was actually a refurb or not, but I'm sure it is, since it didn't come with a box or anything, just the phone and charger!

Goodluck to all! And see you all on the TP2 forums!!! Time to start flashin!

yes, you can use the slide out for hard directional pad. you even have onscreen directional keys when you open the onscreen keyboard. hey if mastahc411 likes the touch pro over the tp2 great that he has what he wants i was just a little irritated by the fact that there are so many trying to get our hands on one and sprint keeps telling us no that someone would have been glad to just swap out a mint condition tp for the tp2 he returned to sprint. thankfully i just received my tp2 but i had to go through some hoops getting it. if someone offered me a trade i would have been all over it.

I put an ad on craigslist offering to swap my tp2 for a tp in new orleans and I got no responses. I dont have a backup phone and I could not afford to be without a phone, even for a day. And I cant ask someone to send me a phone with no guarantee or buyer protection. I left the craigslist ad up for 4 days before I went back to the sprint store. If anyone really want a tp2 that bad then do an insurance claim through asurion. Its only $100 and you dont even have to talk to anyone if you do it through phoneclaim.com. I dont understand why you are irritated. The tp1 is a great phone, too.

Hey, I got sent a refurb TP1 instead of a TP2, but thats fine with me I guess, so I can make a case that I went through at least 1 replacement before and it doesn't work. I was wondering if I could keep the battery cover, backcase, and stylus and just send back the phone without them? They sent me a new charger and battery.
