The Cellar - View Single Post - Sycamore's new playtoy: Motorola T720 wireless phone

Pimpin Phone 1 (aka Sycamore's 3-month old Motorola T720 mobile phone) died suddenly today, at the age of several months. The phone apparently developed a defect, whereby the phone could not tell that its flip was open. Therefore, it would not operate, except for the outer display. It is survived by millions of other T720s, sold through Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile.

The good news: Verizon came through like champs...I took it to the store tonight, the tech looked at it, and said, "Let me get you a new phone...give me about 5-10 minutes to set it up." Now I have a new Motorola T720.

The bad news: They were not able to get the data to transfer from my old phone to my new phone. So, I have to deal with Verizon tomorrow in regards to getting credit for downloading the ringtones and games that were lost. Then, I have to redo all the options. Then, I have to redo my phone book...fortunately, I didn't have many numbers on it.

I knew that something like this could happen. Nextel used to have this problem all the time with their Motorola flips. I'm not turned off by it though...shit happens.
