@Veedub65. 1st phone lasted from June until the 1.2.1 patch came out. List of things wrong with it, plastic delaminating on the cover, USB door cover broke off, screen bleed starting AFTER the 1.2.1 patch install, WITHIN minutes of the upgrade. Also MAJOR oreo.
1st refurb phone lasted 3 weeks, then the handset speaker quit working and no matter all the little 'fix its' it would not work, replaced with this phone which I've had now for two, almost three weeks.
2nd refurb, current phone problems, it came with 29 dead pixels!! Yes, straight out of the mailer, in the Sprint store, handed to me by the tech. I had to reboot the phone 6 times so we could count the dead pixels. Why did I keep it? Because as crappy as the build quality is something else will fail about three weeks after taking possession of it.
As for being tough on the phone, I baby these pieces of crap! I leave it on the Touchstone charger in my patrol car because the battery sucks so much that I can't get through an 8 hour shift with out it running out of juice. And lets not mention how bad the hardware build is.
As for tough phones, I'm so going back to the $99 POS Virgin Mobile phone I had for two years before buying the Pre. Same phone, carried on the duty belt just behind the twin magazine holders. It still works and the ONLY thing wrong with it is my IBM number engraved into the plastic cover.
