You know you could just wait until Verizon does their update then get rid of it. If you can wait that long lol!

I wouldn't assume there'll be an update, I'm afraid. This is just bs!

I've got a Bell Vogue and more or less have had a crack in the housing below the Send button from day 1.... and I did nothing out of the ordinary (no drops) to cause it.

I did later drop it to a marble floor which it didn't appreciate much. The top part of the housing would keep separating. Sealed it with crazy glue cuz it was driving me nuts.

Mine has also developed a crack Just noticed it today. I would just change the case out for a HTC grey case, but at $45 on ebay (from above post) I think I will have Verizon bite the bullet on this one. Does anyone know what ROM the replacement phones are shipping with. I would hate to lose functionality just to fix a small crack.

The ROM was the standard OEM rom on the two replacement phones they sent me. They will send you a refurb. Now that the "official 6.1" is out they may give you that but the functionality OEM wise wont change other than you can pay the vzw thieves for GPS with "vznavigator" if you want to. You wont loose any abilty to have the same functionality if you used the standard OEM.

If you flashed roms though you will have to reflash and rebuild of course. You of course will also have to rebuild all the bells and whistles you had on your phone. I reccomend filing your software cabs, rars, zips etc... that you like on your sd card or pc before you send of your phone. Be sure to get all your contacts etc... backed up using pim or some other back up.

And do a hard reset to clear your personal stuff before you send. Dont forget to remove your sd card....

This all makes your rebuild easier.

Yeah $45.00 sounds steep the first time. But after replacing the phone through insurance twice and spending $50.00 each time its the cheaper fix for a perm solution in the long run.

Hi royals21 i was wondering if you could help me out. I just got my xv6900 and was wodering what rom you used in flashing your phone? I can't wait on vw to get off their buts. Also what program are you using for your GPS? Thx man I would appreciate the help.

Best advice I can give you is to read the directions posted in the following threads very carefully. Once you feel like you understand them completely and have the necessary files downloaded, read the directions again. All the information is in these threads. Right now I'm using OMJ's Verizon ROM and am very impressed. It is the second link.

Youch, I bought my Verizon Touch new from somebody else. I really hope this does not happen to me or else I'm gonna have to try big time to see if I can replace it at all. I could try calling UTStarcom too.
