Of course they do. A warranty exchange is mostly refurbished and like new phones. They are not new phones.

They dont have any new phones right now.

True... So does that mean that if i make a lost phone claim with assurion (tmobile's insurance company) they will not be able to get me an amaze and therefore would have to pick a new phone of equal value, persay, the Samsung galaxy s2?
I am aware that assurion always send a brand new phone with box and everything when phone is claimed lost, unlike the refurbished ones you sometimes get when you claim your phone damaged

There's another article that prevents htc from selling the HTC one X Due to legal battles with Apple that we're just announced today..

Pretty big blow to htc today as far as that's concerned

I dont even think assurion sends you a new phone either. They are all like new or refurbished. Now your other question, I would personally assume that you should be able to get the next phone HTC has out, which would be the ONE s, but I doubt they would do that. Honest answer, I would assume if T-Mobile had no phones to send you, or assurion, I would think they would send either HTC radar, or more likely, the my touch 4g slide. Both of which I would not want and are downgrades.

I highly doubt they would send him a windows phone. Now a mytouch slide, maybe. The slide isn't a bad phone, actually very nice. Just heavy/bulky due to the slide out keyboard.

If anything and no Amaze, I'd think a S2 would be shipped out.

asurion sent me a brand new phone in the box with headphones/charger/cable etc when I made a claim. That was back in november though, I'm sure as stock goes down they send out different stock, ie refurb. or trade ins etc.

and when you make a claim, you still pay a 'deductible' of sorts. With telus I had to pay 150 for the replacement, and considering the markup on phones, they still make money on every claim. Look at a $400 laptop, you think the amaze costs more to build then that? these phones are dirt cheap to make, with huge profit margins.

Have you seen what HTC stock is worth? needless to say, they're doing well

They sent you headphones? That's my biggest gripe with this phone is no headphones

Assurion isn't just TMobile it's also att and they send refurbs. When my g2 went out the only thing they offered was that dumbass sidekick...uh no thanks
