I just got a treo pro off ebay.
I stumbled across a thread about recalled treos having a software version of 1.03 whereas the retail release is supposed to be 1.04.
Supposedly 1.03 are the ones that were shipped then recalled, but apparently many made it into the public anyhow.
Based on some threads I've read, it may be that this phone will be considered "unsupported" for warranty and maintenence issues. I hope I don't have to find out.
I have also heard rumor of a possible firmware update to bring them all up to the 1.04 version.
Can anyone confirm or deny this? Or did I just get stuck with an unservicable phone?
For the record, it seems to work fine, the ESN is clean, and it's worked great as far as I can tell. I just stumbled upon the topic while hunting for various tweaks and programs.
Here's the source link.

Also, I have sent the seller a message about this. I may take it to paypal if I get no response, as he did advertise it as New In Box, with no mention of any recall status.
