I got the $7 insurance too. I have had my mogul replaced 3 times.
1st-wouldnt connect to active sync
2nd-broke screen all drunk by dropping it on pavement
3rd-broke screen sometime at work

Never paid $50 copay. Last time I called sprint instead of goin to the store and they tried to transfer me to asurion but then you have to pay the $50. Only time you really have to go through asurion is for lost or water damaged phones. Says so right in your contract for the $7 a month insurance. Thing about it is sprint dont want to send you the phone so they try and pawn it off on asurion.
If they question it then just say **** why am I paying $7 a month and not $4 if I still gotta pay $50. I told them if I have to pay $50 Im saying I lost it and smashing it right now. No good for parts now.

Actually 4
I got the last one and it had a sort of messed up screen and they sent me another with the same problem. So I finagled an early upgrade to the touch pro at a really good price.
I give it about a month before the pro is all broken and **** and Im calling to get it replaced for free.

You just haven't been around the 6800 enough. I had 1 67 for almost 2 years. Now I've had 6 Moguls in 10 months. Once the unit has over heated and the user turns it in for a replacement, the unit is "fixed" for what ever problem was described, and shipped back out. The new recipient now just has to sit back and wait for the other problems that are bound to follow. Its like if you put bread in the oven, you can't 'unburn' it after its been in there too long.

Its all down hill after your first Mogul refurb.

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.

Can you please explain how to overheat the device because I use my very heavily throughout my day and never an issue. Granted when I am on WiFi and voice it gets warm but so did the 67s and my 67 was OC'ed to 624 which is something that has yet to be accomplished on the 68. 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, thats 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.

[PDAPhoneJunkie]

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?
