To the XV6800...

Well, Verizon replaced my beloved XV6700 with an XV6800 (after 3 tries: 2 failed digitizers and bad bluetooth on the refurb'ed 6700s). I'm pretty happy with it now that I've unlocked it, gotten the GPS working and cooked my own ROM. But it does leave me with a bunch of XV6700 batteries. I've got a 2400 mAh, a 2600 mAh (both with the extended covers) and a stock sized 1350 mAh battery. The two extended batteries are less than 6 months old, the 1350 is probably a year old. Any way, if you'd like one or all of the batteries for the cost of shipping, send me a PM, first come, first serve. They'd ship USPS priority mail, so probably US only at around $8.

Jimnutt,

Do you still have a battery left?

Still got them all, please PM me if interested. When they're gone, I'll update this thread.

how'd u get them to upgrade you? i just spent 30 minutes on the phone trying to get them to upgrade my phone and they told me 'our policy is to only replace it with a refurb of the same model' and i go 'if i keep having problems with this phone, i don't want the same phone back.. i want a different one' 'well sorry sir our policy doesn't allow for that'

One, I had the extended warranty. I think that helps. Two, I went through two bad refurbs before they finally replaced it. And both refurbs had real problems that could be demonstrated to the tech at the store. When I found the second refurb was bad, I didn't take it back to the store, then I called customer service.

Also, I acted like what I really wanted was a brand new 6700 (which I would have been happy with). I didn't go in trying to get an upgrade...

All the batteries have now been claimed

yeah i called asking for just a new 6700 and they told me i'd have to pay retail for it.

this will be my 2nd refurb as well. and i know how to duplicate the problem. so something tells me this refurb will be crap too
