Re: 6700 ---> 6800 via insurance swap?

My 6700 died last week, had it for 27months. Phone was crap until the first WM6 rom. Finished with running WM6.1 , much better. It amazes me some of the people in these forums saying "I preferred to flash back to WM5..." You're kidding me right? Thats like saying "I prefer to run my engine on sugar instead of oil"

Anyways, I took it into the local corporate repair center, in Orange CA, a few miles from Disneyland and Angel Stadium. They determined it was fried, and said Id get the 6800 as a replacement since the 6700 isnt made anymore. Only catch was that I had to wait over the weekend till tuesday for the phone to ship. I went to vegas last weekend anyways, so it wasnt exactly necessary to have a phone at all. Well, got the 6800, and its such a better phone, its night and day. Faster, lighter, thinner... Im just thrilled with it. I want the raphael, but this phone will hold me over for a while. I tried getting a 6800 via ashurion for months, but everytime I called back, they had 6700s in stock. I guess the deal is, goto the corporate repair center, they dont keep much in stock. All the people at the repair center were top notch, knowledgable and very friendly. It was a great experience. Im stoked too because the 6800 works with my BT gps handsfree, the 6700 didnt. Now I can talk and drive w/o wearing anything, very liberating.
