   Great timing, something I need to learn more about.

   The best service they offer, imo, is just buying music. Instead of paying $8 for an album on itunes you can get the exact same album "used files" for say $4. AND you actually own the album, so you can resell it or give it to someone. So so

   Digital music you actually OWN for less than itunes or amazon. Brilliant.

   Good point. I hadn't checked them out before, they were part of the previous cohort, but it looks decent. Although without seeing a real user procession it's difficult to say, their site explains it more as a collection of features.

   Ah, right on. Yeah that would be amazing.

    I can't decide if that would be awesome or scary. I think I'd rather see carrier/phone independence, which would be much more likely in a phone rental market where your carrier fee isn't subsidizing a new phone every 2 years.

    Google is in a unique position that makes a rental phone model more attractive to them than to other OEMs. They should do it. It would make a huge difference environmentally and socially, nnd I would bet it would be the more profitable long

    Yeah, I was surprised as well. As integrated as everything I would think replacing the main board would replace every component in the chain that could cause the problem. I'm very curious about the diagnostics as well, I'll update the post

    That's my understanding of their process. Though their business model has advantages of scale similar to other forms of insurance, I really doubt if it's enough to over come overhead with electronics. I'd bet their business model in more co

    In general, when you get a warranty replacement that replacement itself has a 30 or 60 warranty, that can generally extend beyond your original warranty. I don't know the particulars from your case, but thats a pretty standard practice that

    That it pretty impressive. I've had good experience with apple as well, replacing an iPhone and CPU on my unibody MBP. I've had other complaints with them, though. I bought my 17" MBP to run WinXP (all my software is winXP), which they adve

    Damn man, that sucks. I'm obsessively careful with my phone/comps because of that very reason. But no matter how careful they still fall occasionally. Falling in a manner you described shouldn't break a phone, it's just not realistic that t

    I mentioned replacing the SD card in the notes on the youtube video. I didn't want to overly bore the reader with the troubleshooting steps, but I believe I listed everything in the youtube video notes. Also, I'm using the "old" SD card and

    Thanks, and yes it is valuable. In fact my stealth startups is in private testing atm! But as you say I'm persistent. And I have a sort of sense of duty to bring attention to people that fall through the cracks. Obviously almost ludicrous i

    I bought the phone with a Wirefly deal... which I assumed would be an even more difficult customer service experience. I won't make that mistake again. The "deal" turned out to be almost nothing as I got hit with an activation charge typica
