yes the slider is broken, pics coming in a min
so the truth is that the phone was showing the "phone offline" message (where you normally see "sprint" or "airplane mode") so im guessing that the oreo effect broke the radio or antenna connection- nothing i did made it reconnect to the network
so i bring it to the sprint store, where a lady tries to do a partial reset... naturally it doesnt work. So she tells me to bring it to a repair center, where a real technician can verify that it needs to be replaced...
so im wandering around in this random city trying to find the place w/o my pre GPS... i get there eventually and the guy takes a look at it... he tries a full and a partial erase (what a ****ing joke) of course that doesnt help...
so i ask him about replacing the unit, and he says that b/c there is cosmetic damage to the phone its not covered! He says i will have to pay full price (i didnt buy insurance)
so what i did: filed a claim with the credit card company, who will credit me the original cost.. so i'll be able to buy a new one without any net spending! nice! then i plan to sell my broken pre on ebay.. and perhaps i'll keep the battery??
