Have I missed the part of this thread that covered the phone being
dropped in water ? I know the OP had mentioned that the phone got wet.

all of us that knows Nextel knows that they will go on and swap the phone.
But we also know that once it arrives at the service center and they
discover water damage..................Here comes a Bill. But also for those
that didn't know, The Service Center looks for the following .......Motorola
puts a white dot on the 2 boards inside the radio when it is built. If water
hits that, it will release a red dye "Like a magic marker ink"  and once
open they see that or any white stuff "which is corrosion, I am using white
stuff so people can understand what they are seeing" and last but not least
rust. There are ways around this.....little things to do to cover up the
evidence of water, where the Tech that is looking at it cannot tell.
