I've had 2 TPs and the only reason is because the first had cracked chrome. I don't know what people are doing to cause the phones to break so easily. Those who have replaced there TP 5 or more times are the reason why sprint is replacing the phones in the first place. Someone like me who would like to swap out there phone for a TP2 is actually saving sprint money because I have not sent back all the "defective" phones. OK let the flaming begin for posting a opinion.

Not a Flame, just a voice of reason, because I am shocked at how poorly made the TP is:

I have two accounts with TP's on them. I started with the Hitachi G1000 (the very first WM Smart Phone). I had ONE of these and when it died I was upgraded to the HTC Wizard (Sprint 6600). I had ONE of these.

When the 6600 died I was upgraded to the Sprint 6700. I had ONE of these. It lasted two years.

When the 6700 died I was upgraded to the 6800 (Sprint Mogul). I had the first one for 18 months. I had the second one for three months and then it died.
My wife liked the 6700, so I bought her one off ebay. It last 11 months. When it died she was upgraded to a Touch Pro.

When my 6800 died i was upgraded to a Touch Pro.

I have since had 6 Touch Pro's.
My Wife has had 5 Touch Pro's.

See the history here?

Touch Pro's are defective
