May as well post that I got my replacement and no bugs so far. No sound bug as of yet. Rooted first thing and enjoying the blazing speed compared to stock Sense.
Yes, it is. I don't believe they have a 2.1 Eris chipset and it will only go out OTA. My guy at Verizon said phones that come back will be sent to HTC for a full overhaul, chipset replaced, tested and then marked as "certified pre-owned" or something like that. Take it FWIW from a Verizon guy. He had an Eris leaked but now has a new BB as per company policy regarding salesperson's phones. He told me to send back my leaked phone if I had any issues whatsoever.So, 1.5 is still being shipped.

I just can't figure out this poll thing, sorry.
I saw that, but I wondered if it was from Asurion or Verizon. We'd need some further confirmations I think.At least the explanation makes sense.
My phone was dated 5-05-10 on completion of refurb testing. Came with 1.5. Someone reported that they got a refurb with 2.1 but I suspect that it was a leaked version sent back out.

I know this has probably been answered before, but what exactly is the sound bug everyone keeps referring to? Is this something that makes the phone go silent when receiving phone calls? Is it a critical thing?May as well post that I got my replacement and no bugs so far. No sound bug as of yet. Rooted first thing and enjoying the blazing speed compared to stock Sense.

If the checksums matched (as some have claimed here), how could there be a noticeable difference in performance?...did the OTA...and BOOM....my phone works great now....after doing a factory reset too.....way better than v3...not lagging at all...Im a happy user![]()
I also saw that thread. My replacement is on the FedEx truck right now on it's way to me. I will update when I get it and let you all know if it has 1.5 on it.
Got my replacement yesterday--right after my old phone went silent on the ride home. 2.1 OTA notice came on right after activating the refurbished phone. (It was running 1.5) No problems yet....lots more apps to download. Anyone figure out how to use Appbrain so it can download older synced apps? It tends to sync right away so on my new phone, it overwrote all the apps I had on my old phone with the few that were on the new one.
