Ahhhh lurgie.
Oh dear my phone has the lurgie. It started last week with 3 orange spots on the screen and after a little research I have found that this is a problem with treos and has been nicknamed the "Treo gangrene" because it spreads, And it does. Yesterday it have become about 12 pixels.
So after a frantic search to find the warranty info and several calls to orange to get the number for Palmone UK I spent half an hour on the phone to Palmone UK, talking to a Dutch guy, who was using an American system (tried to ask for my Zip code before realizing and changing it to post code), that got itself stuck in Korean halfway through the conversation. Anyway he was very helpful and it turns out it is still in warranty and they will fix it. Unfortunately I have to send it away and that's going to take 7-10 days.
So I am back to using my bosses old SPV which is a little bit of a come down from the treo but at least it's a phone, and my treo was sent yesterday by royal mail guaranteed next day special delivery so should arrive with them at about this time October 19th 2250, Or is that a little conservative for the post office.
We shall see.
