Im good for 2k-3k text a month so divide that up but the standard number of days in a month and you will see what I mean. I usually hit around 1300-1800 mins a month. Im not trying to complete with anyone and so I get more than them but I am saying I do use my phone a lot and it doesnt just sit there and look pretty. I has 3 or 4 67s and never an issue. But granted I read on the forums everyday where someone else swears they did. But being realistic about it, if the manf makes 1mil devices and only 10k has issues, that's likely a decent trade off ratio-wise.

Wifi is the easiest way to get the device warm. Turn it on and after 20 or 30 minutes it'll be warm to the touch, and hour or so of use and it starts to become hard to hold its so warm.

If you've never had a refurb, you must likely haven't had problems. As I tried to point on previously, the problems seem to snow ball. Once the unit has problems, it seems more inclined to have them in the future.

From my personal experience with the 6800, wmwifirouter gets my device nuclear hot after about 30-45 minutes of use.

Same here, I have had several and have had no issues with them. I just got them to get them and then sold or gave them away, and kept a few for my self. They will not bill you for replacments if they don't come back, at least that's what I have found with Verizon.

Got mine in March no problems at all, I like it so much I kept it as a second phone.

I seriously am thinking that maybe the Sprint version is not as well built...No experince with that phone but it seems like everyone with Sprint's version seems to have problems (except for a few). But most people with Verizon version has no problems, like my self.

I have an Alltel 6800. And it has worked splendidly for over three months now. Granted I know that's not a long time. But I have not even seen an inkling of the problems you guys are describing on here. No white spots, my usb connector is top notch, and it connects to ActiveSync everytime. The only thing I might say is a problem is a couple of my MP3s (which all have media info on them, i.e. artist, album, song name. all in the right places) suddenly go into an Unknown Artist info. Even though the album art, and song name are still correct.

Wow, actually my 6800 gets quite a bit hotter than 6700. I used to leave my 6700 on all night pluged in with WiFi running to push e-mail. Now my 6800 is getting mega hot. I'm not liking it...

I've had my mogul for near a year now, and have mistreated it in every way (dropping while riding bike) , carrying it bare in pocket w/ change and whatever else, you name it. and to date the only problem i've had is having to press a tad bit harder on the period 0 key. phone is also not a refurb. surprises me to hear that so many people have problems w/ usb ports breaking and whatnot. i did have the usb connectivity problem but a bit of isopropyl and small cloth cleaned the lint/grime off of the pins in the usb connector (i carry it in my pocket with no case), maybe the refurb units are defective?

Well I can see where the snowball effect would come in. When ever we would see ppl come in the 67 forums and talk about sending thier 67 in for a replacement I always tried to guide them in to keeping it and at least claiming it to be lost or stolen because then they have extra parts and no one else gets thier headaches.

Just wondering... are you using the "same" USB cable on all the broken Moguls?

It could be that the sync cable USB connector might be out of wack and it fitting TOO tight and thus putting too much stress on the Moguls usb port.

I've had a sync cable that fit really tight... (at first I though it was stuck). Once I got it off, I stopped using it.
