    Until Cingular receives a notice from Nokia that this is an issue for
    this model, Cingular is free to think whatever they want. Given the
    context of my previous comment, I don't need proof that he did, he needs
    proof that he didn't. As far as your lack of reading comprehension,
    that's another issue altogether.

    That's odd as Motorola replaced my V180 when the # key popped out about 7
    months into its service life.

    I work for the Customer relations department of one of the worlds largest PC
    peripheral manufacturers and I can assure you that if a product warranty
    states it covers 'manufacturer defect' as most all of them do, and a part
    falls out of a product (be it 1 or 1000 units) they would be liable under
    this warranty to repair or replace the 'defective' product unless they could
    determine (and prove) it was a result of abuse and not from normal use. The
    burden lies with the manufacturer (at least in the U.S.) to prove damage was
    result of misuse and not the consumers responsibility to prove it was not.
    Not to mention any 'reputable' manufacture/vendor will stand behind what
    they sell.

    A perfect example of some of Cingulars poor customer service.

    If Cingular did not have XBM, you would have no choice but to go directly to the man for warranty issues. Mail your phone to them, wait 4-6 weeks, then MAYBE you get your phone back or replaced, MAYBE having to pay for repairs as well.
