I don't mean to say vzw lied I feel,generally, i was lied to by the media the reviewers. Ok lie is a bit strong, how about mislead? Well I did have to return a droid that went dead all by its lonesome. So my trial period was a bit tumultuous. And then there was the update that was going to solve many of, the shortcomings. I wanted very badly to keep the phone I dont like to give up on something I had committed myself to. Why do you call your phone a stinking pile of crap? I don't feel that way about it , I did say the phone redeemed itself by becoming a wifi hotspot for iPad.
Ah incidentally, One should be careful about too strongly dissing the droid. There are people here that will give one a good dressing down for speaking badly of it.
