Okay, we were looking at new phones to replace the hubbies lost Treo and decided that after using it, there weren't too many that he was going to be happy with now. We went back onto Ebay and bought another one - not from an individual this time AND we purchased the warranty through SquareTrade. My problem now is the fact that this problem, if it was a software failure, would not be covered by SquareTrade anyhow - and it seems to be a fairly "regular" problem with these. Ah... I guess that we will see how this one works out. Heck, the first phone didn't last thirty days and this one's warranty doesn't start for 62 days! lol

I am glad that your issue got resolved. Had I just bought him a new one to start with (thought I would save the money, since I wasn't sure if he would even like it), I would be right about where I am now financially, since I had to buy a second one! Hindsight... :-)

Is there a way to keep things like this from happening? How often should you do a hard-reset? Would that help - like cleaning it up every once in a while? While I have already dove in, I guess that I am a bit worried...
