Does your Cell Phone Work???

[dray]

Just today I have activated my 9Th. yes thats right #9 as of today;

 

I had the first droid when they came out. had problems till they replaced it 4 times. they then upgraded me to the droid 2 for free.

nice of them I know. and today they just gave me my 5 th. Droid 2

 

had everything from dropped calls, screen with white band wouldn't go away, cant answer till calling party hangs up then you have to look and see who called then call them back, speakers quit working, screen goes black and locks up, phone gets quieter as you talk till you cant hear your party talk,

 

weekly calls to phone co. to try to fix problems. most having a temp fix of pull the battery and then put it back and restart.

 

several fixes of wipe it out and reboot to factory settings. in most cases this was another temp fix if at all; but one they seem to like doing in store

 

today at the store there were three other people there with droids all with similar complaints

 

anyways was wondering if anyone else has had this much trouble with there phones

 

.....

 

OK I feel better now.

We've had Droids for almost 2 years now and not one problem with ours. Jude had a droid incredible and went to the Droid X. She likes it better. I currently have an EVO 4g since June and no problems.

WOW...I would be really frustrated by now. My son has had a Droid 2 for probably 6 - 8 months and has never had any problems at all with it. I was actually thinking about getting one until my company decided that we all had to carry a Blackberry.

[straycatt]

I'm still carrying a 6-8 year old Motorola Razor, and I rarely drop a call.

My phone aint one of those crappy computer phones. It can do some really novel stuff. it makes and receives calls, with a voice, I can actually talk to the person on the other end instead of having to type out the conversation.

 

Amazing technology huh?

 

I've had this same phone for 6 years.

[Mariner Fan]

We don't want the data plan. Our LG Cosmos is a really great phone. It works great as a phone....

[MiCarl]

My 6 year old Motorolla V557 is working great. Still on the original battery too:cool10:

 

If I could get people to quit calling it it'd be perfect!

[Monty]

My Droid Incredible works flawlessly.

[royalstar09]

I have an old LG Banter. No matter how many times I drop the phone, it dont "drop" a call. Very reliable. I dont use all the fuzzy things it has which is not much, so one of them really fancy phones would really be overkill for me

Does your Cell Phone Work???

Yes...but I havent washed this new one yet...

 

give me some time..

[Hummingbird]

I have a Droid something, big screen, slides open for a key pad but seldom use it that way, it has voice something so I can talk and it types, I don't do text things just email,

 

only had it for 6 or 7 months - works great, except in steel buildings

[eazyduzzit]

I've had an i-phone for 2 years, and I love it. I haven't had any problems at all with it.

[CrazyHorse]

Droid X no problems.

[FreezyRider]

Original Droid, not one problem over the last year.

[lshafer]

I tested a Droid for the company I work for. I had it only 3 weeks and gave it back. I didn't like it at all. I kept loosing my email sync and had to keep reconfiguring it. The little extras it has are OK but in general it's not as solid (to me) as an iPhone, Blackberry or even a regular cell phone.

 

Supposedly, there was an upgrade to the OS which fixed quite a few glitches with it but I'm not about to invest the time, effort and money to try it again. Just my thoughts.

[Yammer Dan]

Warden and I have talked about cell phones just not sure which way to go. We did move up to the rechargable portable phones. We can walk around the yard with it!! I'm just a little behind on that.

:sign yeah that:

+1 on the iphone. Very reliable for me for the last 1 1/2 years. I think it has alot to do with your carrier. I use AT&T, on the other hand my brother in Knoxville says AT&T is terrible in that area. What about you Easyduzzit? Do you use AT&T

[elmicko]

I'm on my 2nd Blackberry and I'm very happy with them. Very reliable and no quality issues at all. Good web browser too and my current phone has wifi so the internet is just as fast as on my home PC. I'll be upgrading to another Blackberry in the next year or so.

[LilBeaver]

My Motorola i560 has been working for...um.... a long time. It takes a beating and makes phone calls. So yes, my phone works

[bostonlawman2003]

Another vote for the Iphone, once you can learn how to use it! I'm been carrying mine for 6 months and have not had any trouble with it. Unless of course you want to talk about the monthly draining of the bank account by AT&T! But that's another story altogether

EVO 4G here. When my employer offered a spiff to get my own phone I thought I,d get the new Blackberry flip. NO GO they said, no active sync. The company would have to invest thousands in Blackberry's proprietary software to handle email securely. I said OK and ended up with the EVO. My only complaint would be it's a little uncomfortable on the ear, but that would be the same with any "slab" phone.

My old cell works great. It's a motorla W385, and even has a camera,

although I rarely use it. I'm looking for another one just like it for a backup.

I am on my 4th cell phone in 10 years, started with an old Nokia brick (which my wife still uses), then in 05 I got a motorola V-series flip phone with bluetooth, and then got an Android HTC G1 a little over a year ago, which had to be replaced in Dec, so I'm on my second G1.

[1rooster]

Nokia about 10 to 12 years can't remember.I have to extend the antenna for it to work but it does what I want a telephone to do.
