That's about what I paid on ebay for mine.
I had some water issues with mine a few months ago. I let it dry out and a day or so later it started working again.
When I contacted a local Sprint store they said the "tech" could look at it but once I said anything about water they were not allowed to touch it. Needed to call a 1800 number or something.
So you may want to talk to a tech at a local store but don't say anything about water. Just say it started doing that.
Wouldn't hurt to try.

The problem might be fixed...
I saw a tip on another website to remove the battery for 60 seconds, then put it back in and do a hard reset.
I did that and it hasn't rebooted again. (knock on wood)
Something about crap being stuck in memory and the only way to clear it is to take the battery out so that the crap in the memory fades away.
I don't know if it makes sense... but it worked.

I know when mine quite working I was really bummed out thinking of all of the $$$$ it was going to cost me.

That's good to know.

Glad its working again and that it was an easy fix!
Nope never used that rom.
Was using the leaked Sprint Rom. Now back to the official release.
It started rebooting again today, when to Sprint and their tech support department was already closed.

Should have warned you, at least near where I live the techs only work daytime hours.
Hope you get this figured out.

My wife went down today and got me a new 6800 and it didn't cost me anything.
I am now however on the insurance plan.
All is great again.

I forgot mine at home today and I am lost at work. Keep grabbing for it and then panicking that I lost it. It is just amazing how dependent you become on a cell phone. A few years ago I swore I would never need one!

I know you got a new one but next time check the battery connections. Water may have corroded the contacts. If it lost battery power for an instant it will reboot. I had a similar problem with my 6700. One pin had some corrosion and was hard to keep clean. I'd clean it and a week or two later, need cleaning again.

Just to FYI you guys that don't normally go to the other sites.
New sprint rom out, updated Rom and Radio (even updated from the Kitchen Roms). Looks to be an official Rom that just is not on the HTC site yet.
Anyways, I loaded it up the other day, has everything my cooked rom did, is pretty quick (I think it's about as quick as the cooked Rom). Seems to have a PRL update in it too, I know mine got updated, but I don't know if I got it in the last week and didn't realize it. Radio seems better in this one, even over my kitchen rom. Getting really good signal in my basement now.

Thanks...I was using a beta of this rom from a month or two ago and it has been pretty reliable. I'll update this tonight and get rid of the "test only" message, see if there are any other improvements.
The beta I has was 3.49, this final relese is 3.56, so there had to be a few changes in this final one.

That Sprint insurance is only $7 / mo for coverage of replacements immediately for "regular use failures" and $50 deductible replacements via mail for damaged/water/lost replacements.
Really can't beat it on a phone that costs $300-600 to replace. With SERO and full coverage my bill is still just $40/mo.
Hey, one thing I had an issue with was HTChome plugin. so if you use that be ware that it seems to freeze up if you use the version from official website. I used the file titled
HTC - Home Shen 2.1 (then some other text)
it works great and actually fixed the weather tab that was broken for me under my 3.49 cooked rom.
Other than that, everything is working fine on my phone.
Sprint Nav is updated from the version I was using
Sprint TV is officially on it (had it before, but it's nice that it's official)
The Diamond Dialer skins work well for me now.
Cool! I was going to do one of the beta roms but I feel a bit better running the stock version.
