I have had my 8525 for about 2 weeks.

I went to charge it and all that happens is a red light blinks when i sink up the charger.

It never gets any charge going and just keeps blinking red.

I tried a different battery and nothing the phone won't power up at all.

Anyone else had this problem??

I took it to Cingular and the guy said he coud not give me a new one because i lost the little rubber thing covering the antenna on the back cover of the phone and that voids my warranty!!!!!!

I am about to burn the Cingular store down.

Greetings Matt37! Welcome to the MobilitySite forums!

Before you burn anything down, I would suggest reviewing your contract to see if you are paying for a repair plan. If so, it should be covered by that option on your contract. If not, return to the store anyways to obtain their assistance in determining what the problem is.

If they hand you a battery used in one of the floor models, and YOUR 8525 works fine, then they need to replace your battery, which was defective, and should still be covered by the warranty even if they wish to claim a technicality for not providing you with a replacement.

Obviously, if you can find the rubber covering for the antenna, that would help...

It's conceivable that the system detected the loss of the covering, but I doubt it...
