**Confirmed: Pulling Battery Tab does NOT Void Warranty!**

[Prevlin]

I got my Droid X on the 2nd of September and the pull tab has been redesigned it now says battery release on it with a picture of scissors with a line through them also its red now not yellow.

I did exactly the same thing..........caught myself just in time after starting to try to remove the tab.

So THIS explains why I can't get the battery out. Guess I'll be making a trip to Verizon!

I swear I was about a second away from ripping that thing out when I unpackaged my droid x.

I talked with Verizon tech support about the battery pull tab and if they have any tips on getting the battery out, since I pulled it out before... and she told me that I could exchange for another Droid X. My new Droid X (hopefully new) will be arriving Tuesday or Wednesday.

I asked her explicitly if pulling out the battery pull tab voids warranty and she told me NO. She even joked around with me saying how they've had to send out a lot of replacements because a lot of people were calling in about that very same issue. She said that it was incorrectly labeled. That's why the Droid 2s have a different label for the battery pull. She was also giving me tips on how to get my battery out of my OLD Droid X into my REPLACEMENT Droid X.

It is classified as a warranty replacement.

THANK YOU VERIZON!

New Droid X is coming today! Woohoo! Now I have to try to take the battery out of my current one... Anyone have any tips?

Use the battery cover edge. I found that trick on line. Works like a charm!

Yep. I thought what a lot of other people thought and believed it to activate the phone somehow.

NOTE: This is NOT a thread for people to come in and say "Oh you people who pulled it out are idiots." or "How can you be so stupid to pull out something like that? It's 'common sense'!"

Those types of comments will be viewed as being rude and reported.

The people that make stupid comments about those of us that pulled the tab, obviously don't have children, don't take care of their children, or simply don't buy toys for their children. Almost EVERY toy I buy my daughter has a pull tab on it in order for it to work. So the Droid X not having clear instructions, and my Droid 1 not having the tab, figured I was supposed to pull it off! Luckily I saved the tab. Lol
