Seems to be the "luck of the draw".#1). Brand new 700p: Memory failed after 48 hours. Replaced by Verizon with "Brand New" device.#2). Brand new 700p: This one lasted about 8 weeks. All during this period however, there were constant soft resets, screen freeze-ups, & all kinds of unstable behavior. Eventually it stopped connecting to Verizon. Soft reset, Hard reset, nothing helped. Replaced by Verizon with a "refurb". (Don't EVER accept one of these. You're just being given someone elses problems / malfunctioning device).#3). Refurb: Lasted three days before going into a fatal "reset loop". Replaced with Brand New 700p by Verizon.#4.) That brings us to device #4, which (so far - 4 days) has been behaving beautifully (fingers crossed - sorry Ben ha ha)."Hollywood"
