First, I would love it if Verizon created a mobile version of their web site. It seems so obvious since they are in the mobile business... Hey, Verizon, please do this for me!
Second, my quirky problems with my droid never seem to go away. They only hide from me. I had my call dropped 12 times in 20 minutes on Friday. That is a record for me and it took all my will power to not pitch the thing out the car window. Normally it drops the call about once a call or if I switch hands in mid-call, it goes mute and I can't unmute it.
Third, although I appreciate the therapy sessions that I get from reading these threads. And really it is fun to read them. I feel like these forums, of which I am a member of the motorola forum and this one, are like watching the TV series Lost. Things are going on but nobody knows why. Maybe some people know why, but they won't tell or they tell you something that leads you off track. Everybody is pondering what is going on, hoping to have everything revealed that will make it all make sense. But it never happens. I'm afraid that is what is happening here. It will never make sense. Eventually, you get bored and you change the channel. Just because I love a lot of things about my droid doesn't make it okay to manipulate me and, maybe I'm not, but I am feeling like I am being manipulated into thinking that this is a great piece of hardware but it is still a lousy phone for many people - for whatever reason, user quirks, hardware quirks, software quirks - and IMO it should be invincible as a phone - or don't call it a smartphone. Call it a teenycomputer.
Fourth, I await the updates like the rest of the forum. If it fails to meet my expectations, I'm returning my phone and citing one of any of my issues as the reason for the return.
