For those playing along at home.. I was unable to get the phone to wake up. I took it in to the Sprint store this afternoon, explained what the problem is and what I had already done to try and fix it (ie, swap out battery with another working phone, charge battery separately, etc.) and was told it would be an hour, so I left.
Came back over an hour later and was told that the phone wasn't working because the battery was dead
I told the guy to take it back and try to actually look at it this time. Another 20 minutes later they came out from the back with a shiny new PPC-6700
This is the third new 6700 my wife and I (2 for her, 1 for me) have had in the past month. Gotta love total coverage plans
Now to go and install some real software on it.. Kitchen 1.0.2 here I come
(I hope they don't ever figure out I had Kitchen 1.0.0 on the last phone before it died..
at least I know it wasn't the Kitchen that killed it, since I had been running it for a few days prior to that.)
