I apologize for plugging the sale of my Hermes in this forum, but if someone is interested in it, it could be considered a public service.
My trusty phone died last November with the radio dying NO GSM issue. I tried everything I know to fix it. Now it is on e-bay.
Last summer, work was having a picnic lunch in the office with sandwiches and cooler full of pop. I reached down to grab a diet pepsi and my 8525 fell down into the ice. It got wet enough to trigger the sensor. But I immediately pulled it out, removed the battery and I ran into the blow dry it in the restroom. When I got it home I sprayed it down with electronics spray that displaces water and cleans it. The next day, I powered it up and it worked flawlessly until Minneapolis went to 3G. Instead of celebrating the 3G service I had been waiting for... I immediately started having phone issues. Within two days I had "No Service" and upon resetting I had "NO GSM". I had no chance of returning it for warrenty repair as the water trigger had been tripped.
I am selling it with two batteries and all the accessories except the charger which works fine with my Tilt.
