lather, rinse, repeat

Another month, another verizon v710.

Sure enough my most recent replacement phone started acting up just like the two before it. Each one has gradually become resistant to charging until finally it refuses to charge at all. I get a new phone (using the same old battery) and the charging problems are gone... for a while... until they slowly return... and I won't be able to charge the phone anymore.

The other day I took possesion of v710 number four. This is insane. I love Motorola phones, but I have to say their CDMA phones are shit. I love my Motorola GSM, but I never want to own another CDMA phone again.

Verizon was as helpful as ever... they tried to charge me $75 for the replacement v710 or $150 for a different model. I ended up getting the new 710 at no charge; but seriously, what a bunch of wankers!

    Isn't rinse spelled with an 'S'?

    Only when one is calm. If you get upset enough, rinse can be spelled as rince.
