After my last two updates about my phone, I thought I'd cross over into obsession status and give one final update. Verizon sent me a "factory refurbished" replacement at no charge which made me quite happy. What made me even more happy is that this "factory refurbished" replacement appears to be a brand new phone. There isn't a scratch on it and it still had the protective plastic covers over the screen and graphitti area. Whats more, I now have what appears to be a newer revision of my phone: higher model number, upgraded antenna, more solid hinge, and a louder speaker. The memory chip date is the same as my old phone which means this update is blasphemous. The date must mean design date and not manufacture date. That or June 17th was a very busy day at the memory chip plant.
