    amazing. simply amazing. i went through 3 before i returned it a few weeks ago. went back to my pearl, and thought i'd wait til newer fixed batches came out. turned out to be the best decision ever. i ordered it again yesterday and got overnight shipping....wow...so much better

    just thought i'd let you guys know..:

    Signal issues---fixed!!!! back to being verizon again

    Batter door---- fixed!!!!

    Muffled sound---- FIXEDDDD!!! THANK the lord

    trackball is 100%!

    and screen ripples, i have absolutely none.

    im so happy i got my tour back because going back to a pearl was a pain in the ***!
    ok just wanted to inform everybody that they are finally good to go!

    ps. mine was a Mexico 5 and the date it had on it was 070809 and in international language that means 8-7-2009

    I just received my second tour. Its a greed dot and based on the paperwork that it came with its brand new. I see that it was made in Canada but where do I look for the built date?

    My replacement Tour came yesterday.
    Also came in a non-descript brown cardboard box. Only phone and battery door. No other equipment. Box did have a green dot sticker on the label.

    Aside from Memo pad and Tasks apps seemingly missing (which I was able to reinstall), the phone seems solid and looks like new.

    I'm on my second Tour and they are both Mexico 5 and they both both were built on 7-30-2009, they both had the trackball issue but the left side of the trackball was sitting up higher the the right side, so I took my fingernail and pressed the left side of the trackball housing down and that fixed it, it now works perfect :-)

    How would getting a replacement work for those who are outside their 30 period? Also, what is the deal with the 1 year warranty? How does that work?

    I was out of my 30 day period and got a perfect green dot replacement Tour.

    I called them, might have been a 10-15 second conversation - took longer to get through their menus. I had it the next morning.

    My first Tour I just received was built the same day! Lol. Hoping all the "issues" are fixed. Does your battery door move side to side at the bottom just slightly?

    Haha, I know. I think the sarcasm went waaayyy over their heads. I'll just be glad when all of this stops once everyone gets a good replacement.

    I couldn't agree more...I really hate to turn into one of those "...use the search function" harpies, but holy smokes...you don't even need to use the search on this...there's no less than 4 of these "green dot" threads on the first page of this forum at any given time!

    It's a puzzling phenomenon.
