Test Drive discontinued?

[raino]

I was going to recommend it to someone considering TMO so went to check up on a detail and the page (URL saved in history) now redirects to Lifetime Coverage Guarantee. Has Test Drive been completely discontinued?

I wonder if they are getting some band 12 devices ready, so people can truly test the network.

Good point. If they absolutely have to use iPhones for this, it's possible that they may be still fulfilling customer orders and/or haven't built up a reserve of the new ones they can use for this program.

Well, looks like Test Drive indeed is dead:

T-Mobile’s Lifetime Coverage Guarantee replaces T-Mobile Test Drive.

And that's a shame, because LCG actually requires a purchase and an irreversible credit check, not to mention potential porting hassles.
