Can't replace phone till after the trip to Europe?

So here is the irony. My third replacement iPhone 3G proximity sensor is shot. This means the screen does not turn off when against the ear, just stays on for about 3 min, turns off then turn back on when it feels like.

Anyway, I am heading over to Serbia and Montenegro for a vacation in May but I need it to stay with baseband 2.28.00 so I can use yellowsn0w. It would be rather wacky to get the phone replaced and refuse to take the new phone on stock 2.2.1 Now I have to wait till early July unless anyone has any other ideas?

Hmm, thats pretty tough. But my dad just bought my mom a 3G for Valentines day and it came with 2.2 installed. I'm pretty sure that a good amount of them are still on 2.2, so you can give it a shot.
