Droid Charge Lemons

I purchased a Droid Charge in August.  I lost data connection repeatedly.  Called support repeatedly.  Did all the remove battery, restore to factory reset, toggle in an out airplane mode suggested activities--dozens of times a day.  After hours on the phone to Verizon, they sent a second phone.  Same problem.  Data connection generally lasted only about 10 minutes.  I restarted the phone dozens of times a day to restore data connection.  Again, I spent hours on the phone, reset the phone to factory settings and the problem persisted. The problems didn't seem to be with transition from 3G to 4G.  If there was a pattern to the loss of connection, it was that I lost connection anytime I tried to receive a large data packet.  I always lost connections on downloads and videos, so gave up trying.  Finally, Verizon agreed to allow me to switch to a new phone and sent a Droid Bionic, which worked smoothly from the day I got it.  It probably has lost data connection once a week, versus the dozens of times a day with the Charge.  The Charge was also slow to connect to GPS (often 2-3 minutes.)  The Bionic connects almost immediately.  There is definitely something wrong with the Charge!
