Default Random Rebooting may = New PHONE!!!

Alright so today I called Verizon and told them that my new Droid X has been randomly rebooting, I called the main support line at 18009220204. I told them that I looked online and that the only way to fix this issue was getting a new phone. The guy immediately told me that he was sending my out a new phone. While he was putting my order in, he told me that they have been having problems with several devices. Rooting does not cause your device to reboot. He said that the env touch had it so bad that it would reboot almost every 30 min.

You should not have to fight for this. Just call that number and tell them that your phone has been rebooting and you want a new phone, Make sure to tell them not a Refurbished one.... you bought it new you should get it new...

i had this problem a couple weeks ago and the rep said i was the first to report that problem, guess its starting to spread all over now... even my friend is reporting this problem. the sad part of all this, i work as a vz retail agent, not a dx in sight.

The Guy I spoke to said its been happening on about 5 to 6 devices over two years and they have no clue what it is so all they can do is send out a new phone and you send yours back...

I am on the phone right now and they are having double finding a NEW phone for me. But I told them that I don't want a return since I have only had the phone for more than two weeks.

So Verizon wanted me to give them a credit card and pay them for another phone until they got mine back. WTF. I told them where they could stuff it. Then magically they said they would just zero out the price and send me the phone. Then the tech said he would call me back in 15 minutes. Which he never dis. I had to call back and go through it all over again. Well in the end, I was told that I would be sent just the phone with no battery or battery cover. Was told it would not be a return over and over but it sounds like a return to me. I guess I will have to wait and see. What does everyone think?

Your getting screwed tell them that you want a brand new never been opened phone. And yes they are sending me a brand new phone. The Guy just told me to switch out the SD card when it comes it so I don't loss my data that I have on it.
