My droid 1 mysteriously started acting up and I lost all my contacts. I went in and waited until the Verizon tech (who obviously thought I was hot) said they had no more D1's available, then got it warrantied.... I'[d suggest being at LEAST as good looking as I am and get a woman rep.... unless there's a gay one available and you just better be a good actor....
lol
j/k - The 2.2 update fried something in the D1 and couldn't go to market, appbrain, and like I mentioned, the contacts. Even dialing out was tricky. I went down immediately (on a Thursday) and he checked it out, said it was screwed up and that a new one would be in in 1 week. It was in my hand Monday. It was a D2. I didn't even think I was going to get a D2, it was just a pleasant surprise.
So I would suggest, having a forced froyo 2.2 update screw up your phone, and then just get lucky.
