First one was returned within a week because it reported wildly fluctuating battery life 100%->60%->0%->80%->40% & so on.

Second one was returned yesterday when it died on me during a business trip to US leaving me without phone & e-mail for two business days. It just locked up solid & after a rest refused to believe that it had a cellular radio inside.

Hoping that third one will be the last one for me. If not, I will have to move to 700wx or something.

what do you expect from a generation one device.. bugs a plenty.... but thanks for beta testing it so us USA'ers can get a better phone out of it in the end... :mikey:

Raj,
Are you just super unlucky or have the Telus CSR's stated that they've been receiving a lot of 6800 returns? Just wondering if it will be a replay of the early days of the 6700.

That happenned to me with the 6600. But the 3rd one I got has lasted me now for 2 plus years.

My 1st 6600 lasted forever until a bad power outlet put a voodoo curse on it. My 2nd 6600 is a different model as the screen makes a high pitch noise (I hear it before the phone even starts to ring) and the text rendering on the screen is poor compared to my 1st 6600... I guess my 1st phone was made in china and the second was made in borneo or some backwards place.
