I washing machined my phone last night

actually, you might be able to convince them to give you a new one on manufacturers warranty, you'd just have to find the right rep.. then it would be freeeeeeee... just tossin that out there, good luck J.

Are you telling me they won't replace ur phone if theres water damage??? That's BS...You would just have to pay the $50 or sweet talk a service rep.

noooo, they'll totally replace it, I just wanted to put the correct rom back on there before I sent it in.. it still totally works, theres just a few functions that dont.

Haha, I feel bad for ya, Zacharybinx. My Toshiba e800 got washing machined as well. It recovered, but due to the water under the screen, taps wouldn't register so I had to buy a replacement. I hope your replacement goes well.

Ahhh LOL...wat ROM do u have on there? Is it noticable its not a OEM Rom??? Most of the time they don't check the Rom versions. Someone on here said they once got a refurb 6700 with a ppcgeeks Rom on it LOL

Its got the alltel rom, but they dont have any releases for the qwest rom.. I suppose sprint would be the best.. or I could just water damage it until it doesnt turn on at all, but I just prefer not to..

Thats pretty much whats going on.. after the whole day (and about a 15 minute trip duct taped inside a shirt in the dryer) it works 100% except for the screen.. they already sent a replacement, so I'm not too worried about the whole thing.. oh well.

I don't think they give a damn what rom you have installed...

Why does everyone think this?
This would be the same dif as if you light a rag you put in your gas tank...
You phone is not supposed to be in water or even near water, otherwise in a washing machine, if i was the agent you called, that would appear as fraud to me... "sir i need a new phone, i washed mine", im sure that is a standard type of thing to try when people want a new phone, like before your apple warranty is up you claim your battery is dying to get a new one...

but if I'm paying for insurance than they should replace it.. and I really think it would be more like driving the car into a lake, or something that involves water and not deliberately murking your phone. And I really dont know about the apple thing, but it makes sense that you'd at least try and get a new battery.. just imo.
