I have had nothing but problems with this phone since I bought it last August. It is slow. Heats up. The screen locks up. It doesn't let me answer some calls. It powers itself down at random... The list goes on.... and on. There is still another 8 months until my 2 year upgrade but I don't think I can last with this thing. With the ammount I am paying per month for this phone, I atleast want it to be functional. Is there any way Verizon can give me an early upgrade? What can I do to get rid on this thing?! Thanks for your help.

Since they have discontinued the early upgrade plans I do not believe you will have any luck, can I ask you a question if you have had nothing but issues since day one of device why didnt you return the device within the allowed 30 days return policy?
Since you bought the phone last August, you MAY be eligible for an annual upgrade on this line. It would be dependent on your calling plan, though. Not all are eligible, such as secondary lines on a Family Plan and Individual Plans below a certain threshold. I am unsure of the threshold. This will be the last time you will be eligible for an annual upgrade, though, since Verizon has done away with annual upgrades for contracts signed after Feb, 2011.
Make sure that you check either on or after you have passed the anniversary of the purchase of your current phone. With annual upgrades, Verizon will not normally let you know when you will be eligible if you have not already become eligible. This is because the upgrade is dependent on your calling plan. I am sure that there are people that have gotten confirmation of their annual upgrade date, changed their plan to become ineligible, and then yelled and screamed when Verizon wouldn't let them upgrade on the date they were given.

I also posted 3 questions to verizon support using twitter and 3 seperate times they never answered me, so they are useless too.
Hello vantech,
We definitely don't want to loose you as a customer. I would like to assist you if your wife is still experiencing opportunities with her device. May you please advise what exactly her device is experiencing and what troubleshooting steps you have already taken so we do not repeat anything. Thank you.
I do apologize about the no response on twitter. We do strive to answer every concern addressed. Did you direct your post to @VZWSupport?
its a droid 2 and the screen becomes unresponsive and i have to pull the battery out and then it might work. My htc t-bolt 85% of the time it doesnt respond to make a call, i then pull the battery and wait almost 6-8 minutes for it to boot up. THIS IS NOT EXCEPTABLE ON BOTH OF THESE OVER PRICED PHONES. Also the bloatware that eats up my battery power, i ended up getting a extended 3200Mah battery on my t-bolt. My overall experience with these two phones has been terrible and i'm not a happy customer right now.
Thank You

try to do a master reset, sounds like you have some bad data on the phone
also you pay for service not the phone. you already own the phone
