Much like Mike Lee's previous dilemma, I'm "noblogging" with the best of them. I received this refurb July 2nd, and called T-Mobile back July 5th -- the screen magnet was screwed up, and my screen flipped every second or so. Endlessly. Turning off the keyboard whenever it was upside down. Maddening, to say the least.

12 business days (15 real days) later, and my order is still "pending" at T-Mobile... and 5 days ago, the device stopped charging. No hiptop at all for 5 days, not even gimpy hiptop... talk about withdrawal. And of course, none of the local T-Mobile stores have any loaner phones in stock -- there's a waitlist of them, too.

I'm headed to Danger HQ in a few days, and I think if nothing else, I'll bring my dead hiptop and ask rather nicely for them to repair the magnet (the charging problem seems to be related to my charger, not my device). Failing that, I guess I'll just wait til the end of time for a T-Mo refurb... *sigh*
