Call HTC and tell them you made a mistake and your sorry and if they fix it for you, you will promise to 100% definately upgrade to another HTC phone in the near future.
also mention you did it because HTC wont provide you with updates for the phone

that has to be the dumbest advice i have ever heard. first of all if you want to get your phone replaced you need to contact the company you bought the phone from. HTC only produces the phones, secondly if you call whoever you bought the phone from and tell them that you did something that clearly voids your warranty then they obviously won't replace the phone for you. your best bet is to call them and say that the phone suddenly shutdown and now refuses to start. if your lucky they might replace it without any more questions.
What happens when you plug in the charger, then hold home and power up,, anything ?????

I do have a sense of humor, and yes I did realize that your post most likely was meant as a joke, However when somebody ask for help on an issue I personally think its stupid to leave a funny response that in no way helps the person in question, in addition during all my years at forums like this I have met tons people that is stupid enough to take advice like yours completely seriously and thats why I argue against it.

well obviously thats your opinion, I know of 1 person who bricked his Palm Pre, called Palm who replaced it for him, so although it was meant as a joke, its not un heard of
Also, i didnt see anyone else complaining, others saw it as a joke, so why dont you keep your comments to yourself

Who else calls their N1 "my precious" ?
Mine is otherwise known as "ribbon of endless joy" after the Star Trek Nexus Energy Ribbon - or it was until I realised it had no vibrate or haptic functioning and had to send it back (with an unlocked bootloader...) Hope I see it again.
Dayz ...
I sent mine back with dusk under the screen and unlocked bootloader. I had them send me a replacement first. I hope they don't charge me a repair fee.
hahah funny other people do it aswell, i ever since i got it i call my n1 my precious but thats gonna change in a coupple of months time ;D

I was wondering where that choice went!
I decided that Google chose a stupid name in superphone. Because of that, I call the N1 the godphone.
I just switched from touch pro 2 and let me tell you... There is no comparison. I had TP2 for a year and almost everytime I had to do something fast, look something up or do somehing more complicated than calling - it would fail me. It led to a constant feeling of doubt and being unsure if it will just freeze when I need it the most.
N1 is freaking fast. Everything on it JUST WORKS. There is no guessing, like on TP2 - "omg I hope this launches.. I hope I don't have to soft reset.." - everything is integrated, every transition happens in a snap, every task you throw at it is handled immediatly and with style. It's a reliable life partner.
If you are undecided like I was a week ago about switching to N1, do it - you'll wish u've done it sooner.
Android FTW.

Its far better than the TP2 but it reboots by itself alot. I don't know why. I do understand you, coming form that phone also. But its not perfect yet.

Yes, I was pretty undecided up until now. I have a SE X1 and really, I know what you're talking about when you mention "doubt". I just hate the thing and WM makes it a nightmare. When I got my X1 I was thinking of keeping the phone for a long time, I wasn't expecting a $900 phone to turn out to be complete crap both hardware wise (flimsy, crappy keyboard, crappy paint, etc.) and software wise (WM!!!). Hopefully, I can use the N1 for a longer time with the updates and all...
I guess I'll be getting it now for sure, the only thing left to decide is whether or not it's worth it to wait the extra time to have it engraved...ha!

Actually I ordered mine engraved and it shipped the same day. Suppose to be delivered today .
You may also want to check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654493
I also came from a TP2 and I don't miss it or windows mobile at all. The laggy feel to if it was on for a day with no soft reset. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who made the switch.
And to fill that final need.......
go and download dildroid just google it. Now your phone can handle anything, no really, I mean anything!

Dude, be VERY careful about the engraving.
Read the warranty policy - if you engrave it, it becomes a non-refundable phone that can only be sent in for repairs, if needed. Also, think if you'll want to sell it in a year or two.. nobody wants your "My name is John and I have a 12" tool" engraving.
Not that it's a bad service, just make sure you consider that.

Or something that would make the "wife" happy. I have to be careful what I engrave otherwise I'll get the cold treatment XD.
Oh well

I'm thinking that if I do want some "engraving" on it, I could get away with a transparent acid-sticker of a sort.. at least that I can remove and sell/return if need arises.
Although only death can separate me form my N1 at this point.
If Adobe would hurry and release the fully gpu accelerated flash player for this phone, I'd give it a 10 out of 10.
Seriously! The ipad / iphone guys are crying so hard about wanting html 5 everywhere because they're not allowed to have flash.. I worry that Adobe's missed the boat on this one.
Not a single developer leaking the gpu flash 10 player for android either..
Its freaking Source Code! Not a ROM, or a ROM that has removed apks and pushed prebuilt apks form a nexus one into an update.zip!!
http://source.android.com/
sorry about the rant, i just don't want n00bs ignorantly throwing the acronym around for ROMs that aren't BUILT from AOSP.
I hope i put this in the right section Mods, i wasn't sure whether it should be in the Q&A because I already had the answer .

Probably not. But I would be really curious to see what happens if you claim the insurance and tell them that you "sold it"

Darch, just want to say I'm sorry about the mis-communication over the "get darch an evo fund", I felt like **** when you finally pm'd me
I think it's time we do it again. You would obviously be a tremendous asset to the EVO community and yahweh knows you deserve it!
Does anyone want to take on the charge? Should I do it again?
What say you guys?
*edit- not promoting fraud but I will say this: if you report a lost phone to asurion and get a replacement they do NOT blacklist the esn.. just saying
@darchstar: as AOSP is a software stack would it be acceptable to then say that all roms are built ON TOP of the AOSP system?
i am guilty of your claims and look to correct myself
Wasn't there a thread awhile back for a donation to buy you an EVO? I thought they reached the goal but I didn't follow it much past that really.

Yes, we raised the money. I couldn't get ahold of darch for like 2 weeks and like a complete asshole I assumed he had lost interest or decided to stick with his Hero. I didn't know how long I had to issue refunds without being charged a penalty and I didn't want to piss all the donators off
Again, I'm really sorry darch
I still got $30 on it if we want to do it again.

OK, so I think the criminal would like 70% get caught in the (school) surveillance camera. IF (AND WILL) I find the man, how would I confront him? Now this is the creative part.

dude this is super easy. if it happened in school get your adminsetraitors involved. explain what happened. and how you know its your phone. examples.
1) hd2 running android when it originally runs WM6.5
2) Gmail.
3) if you have the box to your device. compare IMEI's
4) any perticular scratches or soemthing.
