Verizon voids Galaxy Nexus Warranty on Twitter due to past tweet

No account verification or anything. Verizon looked for past tweets and found one regarding JellyBean and voided his warranty. Made a note on his account without verification and told him he can't see it because it is their data. A somewhat recent XDA video goes in to why we have the right to root and companies can't simply void it for root. Your Warranty is Not Void – XDA TV – xda-developers

Yeah I read about that. Poor guy. Very unfortunate.

It's bogus is what it is. Voiding a warranty because of software for a hardware problem. Then, they can't even PROVE he was running JellyBean. Since when is a Twitter post damning evidence? I decided to stay with VZ for the remainder of my contract instead of dropping to a dumb phone and leaving immediately, but this kind of behavior could begin to change my thinking on that stance.

What a garbage way to "catch" someone. Seriously, when was Twitter considered a reliable source?

Sad but not surprising :angry:

pretty dumb to advertise something on the internet that you shouldn't be doing, especially if you identify yourself :icon_eek:

I think he'll be okay, sounds like he covered himself by saying he was flashing jb to his Xoom. I think if he made waves, Verizon would give him his warranty one way or another. Anyway, this is total bs and just reinforces their bad image.
