Does anybody know if the Asurion stock and the Sprint repair stock are the same? Or do they each pull from their own reserves?

I'm not sure but according to the Self replacement tool.

Here is the message I got on the Asurion site, too bad I like the Touch better all around IMO

"The replacement option for your insured equipment is a REMANUFACTURED HTC 6950 TOUCH DIAMOND. This equipment is selected based on comparable features and functions of your insured equipment. A charger will be included with your replacement phone.

Do you wish to proceed with this replacement option?

Selecting "No" at this stage will prompt you to call Asurion for further verification and claim processing. A different replacement option will not likely be offered. "

You dont know if you want a Diamond? WHAT? why??? They are definitely better then the Touch.. Dont get my wrong I love the Touch but... Why is that even a

personally I don't think the diamond is that big of an upgrade. the wifi, and G sensor is cool, but the trade off is fixed storage space. i'll probably still switch it out before the price jump, but i'm in no hurry.

I think I'll keep my touch until they'll replace it with the Diamond 2.

Why go for the same screen size?

I agree with you Musicman, not sure what part of the RGV your from, but Browtown representin. Ive had the OG touch and that bad boy is GTG. Especially with WDM's rom. I just added the 16 Gig card too. So to got to the Diamond and downgrade to 4gigs would be a bad deal. Like you said same screen size and almost same Size. Plus i like the black with chrome of the touch with my mirror screen protector.

Exactly what insurance price jump are we talking about here? Are they uping our deductables (sp)? When exactly is this supposed to happen? I just went to the site, and it said I would get my Vogue's replaced with a Diamond. Kinda cool, since I actually have 2 working Vogue's, one for backup. Now I can take the worse-for-wear one, that I'm currently using, and replace it with a Diamond.
