Did I say third time is the charm?

I meant to say the fourth time is the charm. Yes, I have just received my fourth Treo 600. I am going through one phone every 3 – 4 months. I wanted to just upgrade to the new 650 or the new 700 that will be coming out pretty soon, but because it is under warranty, they won’t let me exchange the phones and pay the difference. So, here I am on my third refurbished phone.

• My first phone I bought new, and lasted about ten months before the speaker stopped working.
• The second phone I received was a replacement for my first phone, and it was refurbished. I turned it off when I took a plane from Cleveland to San Antonio. When I arrived home and attempted to turn it back on, it stayed in the boot-up mode and would not turn on, and I couldn’t turn it off either. I had this phone for about 3 ½ months.
• The third refurbished phone had two orange pixels one morning. Within two weeks the orange pixels grew like a cancer on my screen consuming more and more pixels until the two cancer segments were about to join in the middle. I had this phone for about 3 months.

So, here I am with my fourth Treo 600. Again, wish me luck.
