I bought a HTC P4000 in Aug 0f 07. The guy at the time told me I would have to wait until the last 6 months of my contract before I could consider upgrading, that would be this coming February.

This phone is really hurting now. I can take upwards of 45 mins to even turn on. When/if it does, it is so slow and un responsive it's almost un-useable.

Is there any point what so ever in calling Telus to see if they can do anything for me? What dept would I call? I figured going into the Telus stores would be a huge waste of time but what am I supposed to do with a little less than a year left on my contract and an almost dead phone?

What are my options, if any? I suppose I could try to re-load Windows Mobile 6.1 but I'm pretty sure this is hardware related and not software.
