Upon finding my A900 dead Saturday morning - no doubt to the battery being drained - I plugged it back in. Pretty typical behavior. What wasn’t typical was the festival of lights flashing from the screen when I was expecting the recharging-red color. This lightshow was accompanied by snapping and whistling teakettle noises. I ended up putting the cell phone in a metal bowl in case it decided to blow itself up, since that’s what it sounded like it wanted to do.

This thing is a month and half old. I’ve passed the deadline for buying Sprint’s warranty, but I believe I’m still under the time limit for Wireless Toys’ warranty. It’s $80 per year, but that sounds much better than the $350 for a new phone.
