I say again THE PHONE IS NOT NEW. Same thing i'm just gonna send the phone back to them unless their are other options?07-03-10 12:53 PM - If this were me, and I actually wanted the phone, I would ask that the second a new phone is ready that I get shipped one, and that my warranty, return time, does not start until the new phone is actually activated. But since I have a feeling that's not going to be an option they give me, the phone would have to go back, and any discounts I would have been able to get, be reset, until I did in fact pick up a new phone.i got my incredible and loved it i was playing with the phone and went into contacts it was a whole 35/40 in it. i call verizon let them know they say oh yeah i'm sorry about that it's due to the shortages then in the same breath say i'm sorry idk how u got a used phone so i say well how long till i get a new one?

A good thing to do when you put the battery in any supposed new phone, is to check the call timers and the lifetime timer, which as I remember, does not get reset in refurbished phones. As far as I know the total lifetime timer can't be reset, as it's pretty much like the odometer on your car to show miles put on the engine. So if someone does somehow reset the lifetime timer and does so to sell a phone as new...someone is trying to pulling a fast one.
CB blog post about how to view the lifetime timer.
