Thanks for all the responses - I guess I'll hold onto the phone for now. I didn't realize I could flash it. I'll probably give mighty a try. I didn't think of the asurion route either - I've been carrying them on my account since day 1, and it's saved my butt a few times. Mainly because VZ seems much more likely to send free refurbs when you have that (we're talking treo 700p's here). (what one has to do with the other, i don't know, but that's what the VZ Tech reps said)

The Electrical engineer in me is a bit curious as to where the MEID is stored hardware wise -is it the radio or the mainbord. - I.E. would it be possible to take parts from a sprint and verizon phone to make a hybred. Possibly get sprint's memory and keyboard, but with a true (not cloned) verizon phone. that's just a thought though... i'll have to search down where the info is stored.
