I just got a warranty swap delivered today. Glad to say it's brand new, not a refurb. Anyhow, there is a help app preloaded, with a "?" for an icon. Is this on all units? I have never seen it.

I noticed that too on my replacement unit. Its got the same kind of skin as the t-mobile "my account app" so I'm thinking maybe it's from them. Btw how can you tell if it's new or refurb?
I would rather take a perfect condition refurbished device than a new one. Why? Because most (if not all) factory refurbished devices are looked at PERSONALLY by a technician and brought up to factory specifications. This is unlike a phone that's coming off an assembly line. Soft button LEDs not lining up? Likely to be missed if it came off an assembly line, but definitely caught if checked by a dedicated technician. Bad 3G antennae? Touchscreen not accurate? A refurbished device would have gotten a once over by a technician. My experience with refurbished devices has been they've been tighter and cleaner than brand new. As long as there are no scratches or other physical defects (usually not the case), refurbished devices are, in some cases, better than brand new.
if there was something that refurbs were getting or something those that sent theres back were getting, we would all be sending ours back. lol
did that make sense? i lost myself
Me either. What is it? Just a tutorial?
no i dont.. hmmmmmm weird.. someone mentioned it looks like the tmo myaccount app. try and dl it from the market place and see what happens
that sounds exactly like the tmo app.. i have it and have those same things
Sounds to me like you got a refurb and someone's old app on it.
