Here's one I've never heard before...

The kid I sold my X40 to locally a few weeks ago claims to have broken the modem card and now needs a new one. I don't mean it just stopped working... I mean he claims the card actually BROKE taking it in and out several times while contemplating a bluetooth upgrade (which, thankfully, he is now afraid to do!). I've not seen it myself but I can't wait to see what he actually did. Of course this wouldn't be covered by warranty so I told him I'd try to help and pick up something cheap before he buys a new one. If any of you who have done a bluetooth upgrade still have the old used modem card sitting around send me an e-mail with your delivered price and I'll pass on the news. You'll be paid by me so no fear of being stiffed by an unknown buyer.

Thanks,

Thank you Bob! It arrived today.

When I told the kid you gave this to him for free, and I was going to put it in for him and test everything for free, he was overcome with happiness. I told him all you required was for him to someday "pay it forward". I think he will.
