I bought the phone from a private party a couple of months ago, so Verizon is not going to be of much help. It is very good to finally get a solid diagnosis of the problem.
I will either find a beater phone, and see about swapping screens, or just put this one on Ebay.
I found a replacement DX and am up and running on it. There is no phone of the new crop that tempted me to move away from the Droid X. Maybe sometime, but not from what I''m seeing presently.
Thanks
