I've experienced the same thing. My date is 4/2008, and I haven't purchased
a phone from sprint since 11/2001. Since then I've activated a phone I
got from a phone replacement insurance program (reset), and a couple
of ebay phones which also reset my date upon each activation.

You must be special. :-p
