I just picked up my 3rd refurb Bold, and I'm wondering how long this one will last...the other 2 failed within 3 weeks, and each "new" phone requires another Zagg screen protector, .282 OS, app downloads, and a download patch so my computer will recognize the media card...sheeesh.

Sorry to hear about the other 2 refurbs that weren't any good. Hopefully this one will work out better for you.

I also went through a couple of refurbs. 3rd time was the charm for me.

Good luck

If you do a backup then restore, you won't have to re-download the applications

Look at how many people went through multiple *new* bolds or tours with issues.

Realize it's not a refurb issue, it's a bad luck of the draw issue.

Here's a good solution for downloading apps over again.

On my third BOLD. The last one was a refurb for about three months now.

I am still on my first refurb with AT&T. Haven't had a problem with it...

This "new" Bold is 'so far' the best one I've owned..fast,great speaker volume, and super fast to come up after a battery pull.
Hope this one lasts awhile.
