Same thing happened to me, I called t-mo and told them my phone was bricked, they sent me a replacement and I then purposely bricked my phone. Not the most up and up way to deal with it but it worked.

I paid no fee. I told them it crashed while I was using my nav app and that it would not boot past the vibrant screen, they had me boot into recovery and reinstall packages I told them it didn't fix anything and I got a new phone in the mail 2 days later.

And like tengtengvn said, just do a nandroid backup and restore it to your new phone when you get it.

That would be fraud and anyone who advises you on how to do it would be committing a crime as well as violating forums rules.
