Well I got a Droid 1 refurb. The damn thing has dead spots on the screen. I kid you not. Slide to unlock took me a good 5 try's before I was able to get in. My ass that is certified like new....certified piece of crap.

I just got my certified like new and it is perfect (so far). It just has flat keys instead of raised...

I called them yesterday because my phone froze yet again - and each time it happens it's like an HOUR that it's not viable. I'm starting to think that I demand some money back since they charge me for a monthly usage but I'm out at least 1 hr every day regarding this garbage phone so why should I be charged?

They seemed to have changed their customer service support because the last 20 times I called them, I never spoke to a technician (but a customer service representative) but this time, they made me go from a customer service rep to a technician then they made me REBOOT (yeah I am getting REAL used to this!) to MASTER RESET the goddamn thing and was stuck for another hour.

After all that, it froze AGAIN (of course) so now they are sending me another "replacement". I pray to the lord that it's a D2 with no problems but at this point even D1 with no problems will be welcomed. I swear I'm not trying to get a FREE upgrade out of this, it's just that my phone is going berserk ever since 2.2 Froyo upgrade and their stupid answer is that they are "rolling out" a new update this week. F THAT. So the "new" phone that's coming on Fri will be my 5th one.

Side note: If you get a replacement, you get 90 day warranty on that product which supercedes my warranty expiration of 11/2010 (I got it when it first came out). So God forbid, if this keeps happening, my warranty will just keep extending itself...I guess that's a good thing?!?! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!

Did they give you any grief about wanting a Droid 2?

No, I was polite with them. I told them that I had bad experiences with LG Env 2 phone that I use to have before the OG Droid, and that had two replacements through them and somehow all of those phones had some malfunction to them. I basically said that I thought their quality control would have been better since the last time I done warranty, and it's only fair they take care of me.

Truth be told, these were legitimate issues and wasn't making up issues to get a D2. i would have been happy with a new D1 that worked. Since they obviously couldn't provide me that, I got a new D2.

Still could be a D1...they are getting new D2 chassis from Moto and sending them out in the same box (and potentially from the same warehouses) as D1 refurbs...that's how my new D2 arrived...new D2 chassis in one package, new battery and D2 battery cover in second.

So maybe there's a chance.

I got my "certified like CRAP replacement" today and it is bent. The keyboard it bent and the space between the screen and keyboard is over 1/8 inch on the lower left of the phone. I called them and they are sending another on Friday.

Did they give you a tracking number for the battery and cover?

Okay so my D1 was screwed a couple of weeks back. I ended up buying a D2 on my own and have had it for almost 2 weeks. But I still wanted to see if I could get something done about my dead D1. I called customer servie and eventually they said they'd send me another D1. I wasn't expecting a D2 (and I probably wouldnt have been too happy if they did since I'd have 2 of them), so today I received my recertified D1. Was kinda freaked out because of everyone saying how messed up theirs was (almost seems like an excuse to send it back and get a different phone) but mine is in great condition.

The weight of the box on fedex was 1 lb, and my D2 said 2 lb. btw in case anyone was wondering.

Just read through this thread and it made me laugh. I must admit I did not want a droid 2 as a replacement and was angry, but then I started to like it. I will say that the droid 2 is not that big of a step up from the droid 1. There are some improvements yes, but I would not waste an early upgrade on it. People losing sleep over not getting a droid 2, seriously in a few months vzw will have the droidpro, and some more devices that you would probably prefer over the droid 2. Enjoy your unlocked d1 while you have it.
As far as it being locked down, my droid 2 is rooted and running a theme.
