Droid Charge....PLEASE UPDATE THIS THING!!!

OMG... When will we see an update for this Droid Charge? Trying to use the Droid Charge as a 4G or even 3G Mobile Hotspot is the PITS!!! I thought that the update I received when I first got this phone would work but it has done NOTHING!!! The Verizon 4G Network is spotty as it is and to combine that with this Droid Charge makes trying to access the internet totally useless. I had T-Mobile prior to switching to Verizon and had much better hotspot performance with them. I am afraid to download anything to my computer because it stalls and never completes the download. YouTube buffering is very common to the point of not wanting to watch the videos at all.

Swapping the phone is out because my 14 day time period is up so I'm stuck with this. I have had the sim card swapped out, a new battery put in and still this phone never finds the server unless I restart the phone which is all the time and totally ridiculous. When I do get on I cannot stay on or the performance is so freaking slow you may as well use a dial up connection. And I live in a 4G coverage area. It does not make any sense. 

I had a Thunderbolt before this phone (I should have kept it) which went through the same issues but after it's update it worked fine. Now the Thunderbolt has received another update.... Come on Samsung!!! I switched to the Droid Charge because of the screen (which seems to be the best thing about this phone).  There are other issues I am having with this phone but the Mobile Hotspot is most important to me right now since this is all I use to connect our computers to the net.

Samsung and/or Verizon needs to do something very quickly about this and provide an update; Gingerbread or whatever..... As long as it fixes this issue.

I believe you are looking at this issue the wrong way, you are blaming the device and its updates but since so many devices have been experiencing the same issue it is clear that this is more of a network bug, the data connection was way more stable before the introduction of 4g and I feel most of these issues is happening due to the network being constantly updated to support large 4g coverage.. 

The increase of coverage is a good thing but the unstable connection can be a bit frustrating..
