I have had my Brigade for about a month. I am really pleased with my phone, my friends call it "The TANK of phones". There are a few things that bug me on it. The phone will restart every now and again, but I'm fine with that it makes up for it when I can shower with my phone. The problem I am having with it is my texting feature decided to freeze. It will not send nor receive, the last text I sent was about 4 hours ago, it continues with this problem, also I tried the power cycling restart the trouble shooting offered and still nothing. I tried deleting the texts and I delete one text and its still there, so I decided to mass delete my inbox, in doing so it tells me I have no messages to delete. If anyone has any insight on this solution, please, by all means let me know. Because they moved the Verizon store from my location.
