    Stores..I'm not sure about online.
    I spoke to manger at Sprint Crop store little over 30 min ago ,He said new stock started working its way into stores 3 weeks ago.
    I really can tell difference in my unite ,I picked it up 12 days ago finding to to be very solid no flaws..its like a different device all together ...very high quality.

    Dude thanks so much for info. I think I'm just going to wait for the new OS release and see the feedback on that and then go ahead and purchase one probably around mid-september or early october. 3 weeks ago sounds like a long time ago though? 3 weeks ago I was still having problems with my replacement Tour.
    Yeah I would definitely wait it out.
    There's still duds in stores f,sure..its luck of the draw pic a store hoping its got updated inventory.
    By mid September all the junkers will be flushed out -new hardware etc becoming refurbs.

    Yeah...I mean by October they should all have the newest Tours I would hope. I don't care as much about the possibility of a Tour with wi-fi because I don't really care about wi-fi that much.
    hehe funny you bring up the 9650 wifi ,I really want one but may wait a couple months after release due to the current 9630 show.

    I have a release phone and my battery is fine, it just depends on use. If I do a lot of streaming I can kill it in a matter of hours(the Nascar app seems to be particularly brutal). If its just light talk, internet, and SMS I can squeeze out two days.

    the new stock tours are i think 100% better. I got one of the new stock ones last week and it blew my old tour away in every aspect. If they have to get a new one shipped in for you at your store, its a new stock
