i called asurion because my 6700's joystick button was permanently pressed in - the second phone in two years, not bad considering i use mine like a freak. . . anyway, asurion replaced it by sending me a proof of purchase which i then took to the verizon store and they replaced it . . . with another 6700. if this one goes belly up, then i'll be back at the store in no time.

incidentally the verizon store told me it was a new phone, but little do they know that i am a ppcgeeks member! it's not a refurb, but has been used for some talktime before me . . .

came with bootloader 2.05, so i reverted using the instructions here, and proceeded to load up Rob Mayer's clean no junk WM6 ROM ver. 8 in no time.

running fine. i mentioned the 6800, but they had plenty of 6700s in the store.

this was yesterday
