if you go to the find a store link on the SPrint.com site, put in your zip code. WHen it populates the list of stores it will say something like "spwint store by absolute wireless" or "sprint store". The ones that just list Sprint store are typically going to to be corp stores if it is a sprint store by someone it is third party authorized retailer. It should also list what services are available at each store.

Not sure if this means much, but a Sprint employee informed me they probably won't have any in stock in the warehouse they order from until either Tuesday or Wednesday at the earliest...

I am expecting my replacement monday or tuesday. I spoke with several sprint stores in the Denver area who informed me that they were receiving TP2s for sale today (SUnday) and they would be available tomorrow. However, the devices they are getting to sale will not be used for replacing other devices. The TP2s used for replacement of TP1s will be refurbs. I have spoken with three stores who have all told me the same thing. However, when they offered me a BB Tour or Curve, they said I could have it that day. I assume those would not be refurbs but not sure. Can anyone speak on this?

The other options are refurbs. They have them in stock for regular replacements of the same device. The odds of getting a NIB replacement is pretty low.

Thanks! I'll take a refurb TP2 over a malfunctioning TP1 anyday!

That seems to be the correct response. A backordered phone can't be ordered and no one really knows when they'll be back in stock. Hopefully, there will be a few lucky people who will be ordered NIBs.

Switching to a different company asap.
Done with Sprint's BS.

Offering me a phone worth 100 less than I paid for a replacement is bs(my touch pro is actually broke)
Getting a tour until I switch to Verizon and get a touch pro2.
