Trying to make a phone call I got nothing but weird noises from the earpeice / speaker and I cant confirm a connection or not, so I cant confirm the cell worked or not but I did have it connect to the Telus network. I also couldnt test sms as it would constantly ask me to configure xmpp and never let me do anything else.
I installed all the updates provided in "Software" and while browsing in Firefox the phone crashed and went to black screen.
Now it wont power up and no lights come on when its plugged in. I've tried pulling the battery, tried the reset button and tried holding power for various lengths of time.
So, after having it in my hands for about 4 hours it appears to be bricked.
Short of physical damage you can't really brick them. Download the latest jumpdrive image, flash to a sdcard and boot your phone, then you can directly re-flash the emmc chip via USB on your computer.
