My recommendation: FLASH AWAY!!! Who keeps the same phone that long anyway? I buy one at least every year, and every other year it is discounted!
Wow!! Awesome answer lol. I will never think twice about it again (not that I ever did before)

Re: can you ever flash to much

I am at my 9,857 flash. I had to keep a tally so I can know for sure when I need to file for insurance claim.


haha just joking. I flash 20-30 times a day sometimes. so there really is no way to over flash it.

As long as you're wearing a trenchcoat, and can run pretty fast; there is no such thing as too much flasting.

Re: can you ever flash to much

Where did rstoyguy get this 10000 flash limit number from?

I give my Diamond 1 more year of life before it catches on fire while flashing.

Re: can you ever flash to much

Most commercial flash drives are guaranteed to about 100.000 write/erase cycles and flashing from internal storage takes about 2.5mins. So the math needs recalculating.
