Before you do that, open up the back, remove the battery, blow on the contacts for the battery and phone and place it back in. My wife had this problem with her 8830 and that fixed it. It must have had some lint in there or something.

Hrmm ... it depends on the store you would go to and what their practices are as i know here in most cases if we have a spare battery from a return we would just swap it out free of charge.

Yes ive worked for Corporate for almost 5 years now (well i guess this also includes the severance i received last year with the layoffs of '07 ... they closed my store so i kind of went with it ๐Ÿ˜• :an epic 7 month vacation may i add๐Ÿ™‚ ... but they offered me another job and i was happy to take it so if that says anything for you. Im prolly one of the only Nextel legacy reps still around in this area, lol ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

well im sorry for what happened, im in a area where there is only 1 Corp. location and..... and im kind of tired of working retentions (even though it pays very well) but its the same thing day in and day out..... i use to work in store locations and loved it. I guess i might shoot for manager position in the Corp. location in a few weeks.....but we will see......

this is where ppl misunderstand the ins. it covers the phone only, not the battery, or the battery cover, and not even the wall charger. all these are considered accessories, BUT you can go into certain stores like mine who, although is not S&R, can give you one taken from an exchange or return for free.
