Strange, you'd think that whatever was wrong with your one they would just replace the parts unless it was totally screwed up.
Most cases the motherboard has been replaced so I don't know why CPW went with the refurb route.
No offence but you did well spending 3 weeks with the iphone5, I wouldn't even last 10 mins with any iphone
If you're looking to get the Note 2, check it out in a shop and ask if you can put the phone in your pocket because it's a monster!
Using the Ip5 was torture !!!!!!
Had no choice

Will try and test out the Note 2 !
