if you have insurance, then just take it back to the store, and they will give you a new or referb. I had a similar issue with my 6700 and they upgraded me to the 6800. if they don't have any 6800 in stock they will probably upgrade you to the latest comperable model. While 7 bucks a month seems to be a waste in situations like this make it worthwhile.

I saw a recent post about an HTC backup utility that backs up your data to the SD card, sounds like a good way to keep transfer all your setting and data to the new phone.
