just got NEW 6800 from VZW
 

I just went through 3 pages of threads and didnt see anything on this. My original 68 got the sticky keys on keyboard syndrone and so I had VZW replace it. The local store didnt have any and I thought I was going to get a 6850 until some jackazz made a phone call and told me they were sending me a new phone. Sure enough when FedEx dropped it off it was a spanking BNIB 6800 dated 5-18-09 and covers will all the protective plastic. Not a refurb mind you.

Wow i didnt know they were making them still. I was thinking I might get a touch pro on one of these replacements. That sucks

Not surprised. I had to make an Asurion claim on my 700WX (VZW) about a month ago due to a series of unfortunate events involving the Treo and a spare magazine for my duty weapon. Like you, I was hoping for a 6850. Got another 700WX, which, if I'm not mistaken, was in VZW's inventory before the 6800. I guess there's still a lot of these old bricks still floating around out there.

Do you know how to get into EPST? In there, you can view the official Refurbished/Manufactured date on the phone. I'd be interested to see what the manufactured date is!

Thanks

weedahoe, be careful accepting a "new" device from verizon... I took a new 700wx over a refurbed (they were out of stock) and they counted that as my upgrade... So I went from a crappy non -working 700wx to a new 700wx that stopped working 2 weeks later, and they counted it as a New Every 2. After a year of arguing with VZW, they changed it back and I was able to weasel my way outta my contract. Just check it with customer service.

THX. I know Sprint got their butts in a big lawsuit for doing things like that but I will check into it.

After complaining enough about their new policy to ban QWest esn #s, I got mine June 23rd 09.
It ended up costing $50.oo, and a renwal of service (had 1Yr left).
But the MFG date is 25-Apr-08.
Funny that the Warranty Date Code is 24-Jun-09 (1 day after I got it).
It didn't take long to unlock GPS and all.
I think I like having the extra buttons to assign all those apps to.
Maybe the TP is for a user that does'nt mind scrolling through the menus.
And I would miss the thumb wheel, even the TP2 just has the rocker.
Something about the 6800 says Rugged and Dependable.
The TP that I held in the VZW store seemed like a toy.
I had to ask if this was a display or the real thing.
