Darik’s Boot and Nuke

Verizon Settlement Finally Comes Through.

Well let’s see, 10 months to the date from the day I received my the settlement letter. I get my check.

Yes, it was a long road to hoe. But finally I suppose it paid off. I maxxed out the ‘reward’ by picking off a Treo 650 from their special purchase page, which ended up costing me about $20 more than I paid for the v710.

Of course they dropped the price of the Treo-650 about a week later, and the Treo 700p shipped too, but that’s OK. In the end, it all worked out.

Who’d a thunk it?
