    hello all, my searches have been futile.

    simple question:

    on the original razr, you could use a usb-tipped stereo headset instead of a 2.5mm. my question is, can you use this option on an 8830? i bought 3 2.5mm headsets and they all blow, mostly because the connection on my BB sucks...so im wondering if a usb one will work before i drop another 10 bucks on it.

    thanks!

    At the risk of being a simple guy...

    If your jack is all jacked up, why not return the phone under warranty for one that isn't?

    I know you said you searched, but in case you missed it, here is a thread on the 8830 2.5mm jack that might point you to some alternative solutions: http://forums.crackberry.com/f61/hea...-s-jack-42369/

    If the phone is within 30 days they will replace it in-store on the spot. Go in and get it swapped. If you wait past 30 days, they will only replace it with a refurb. Within 30 days it's with a new one in the box.

    Here's some news if you didn't already know. Even the insurance replacements are refurbs... however, the Asurion refurbs are not OEM... they are junk. Someone should sue that company for **** poor product replacements.

    That's strange because my replacement from Asurion was in a new VZW Blackberry box with everything cd/charger/new case, I guess I got lucky.

    Did it say Made in China on the box? If it did, then it wasn't a new phone. Most Asurion replacements come in an Asurion box, not a carrier box.
