Ok, so after I posted this, I finally woke up and realized that I've been paying the insurance all this time on my VZ account. So I called Assurion, just to see if I could HAPPEN to get a 755p replacement (not only touchscreen prob, but headset jack hasn't worked in a long time).
Whaddya know...they are overnighting me a 755p! But I had to pay $50 deductible (1 yr warranty expired), and there's a $50 fee if I don't return the old phone. I went on Ebay and saw I could get a new "buy it now" 755p for about $110-120, and some refurbished ones (which I'm sure is what I'm getting) for about $80-100. Some of them come from VZ and were display models, which I'm not sure I would trust completely after seeing what people do to them in the store...yeah. My question: How do you all feel about the ins they offer, and is the insurance worth it to get a replacement like this (I pay $5.99/mo,feelin a little ripped off right now). The one benefit I see: If something is wrong with the replacement they are sending me, I can send it back and hopefully get another 755p. If off of Ebay,...well, I guess I'd hope to be lucky it works like they say it does. I'm thinking of not sending back the old one so I'll have it as a backup (upgrade is in Nov, but not sure I'm ready for Pre yet). I'd be out $100, but I'd pay about that for one off Ebay anyway. On that note, does anyone have a solution for my screen calibration problem (mentioned below)? Also, not related: Can someone tell me if the 755p has an ARM processor? I just bought an app at this website and they had an upgrade for ARM Palm devices. https://www.olivetree.com/download/beta/palmppc/ And thanks Craig, for the results of that pole...very interesting! -Suzie --- In [email protected], "artsparrow" <suz...@...> wrote: > > I have a VZ Treo 755p, but I forgot to mention I have a Treo 650 for backup. > I just got it out and plugged it in (haven't turned it on in well over 1 and > 1/2 yrs). > I forgot how much I loved the 650! > The buttons feel so much better than my 755. > > Of course, for some reason, my touch screen has been acting up for quite a > while. > I have to keep touching it in different areas to make it work.
