V60 Recall?

I will confirm this.

OH OH! Also check the slim lithium ion batteries that the v60s came out with. After about 3 months use the battery swells up GREATLY in the middle. Perhaps bad batteries as well?
Some of the newer Nextel phones also use this particular battery (not sure on models). This ought to make for interesting experiences at Nextel dealers in the next few months... 😁
