Sorry about the copy of a full digest before, and the double post now.
I just noticed that all of a sudden my ear speaker no longer works. The
speaker phone functions properly, but it causes a huge amount of feedback
for the other party.
If anyone else has tried to find warranty information about FreeRunners
purchased direct and shipped to the United States, it would be greatly
appreciated. I've searched everywhere I can think of and have found nothing
more than the "14 days" stated on the purchase website.
