What? No One's Yelled at Me Today?

Geez, I'm so used to the personal attack of the day. Have the haters stopped hating on SystemShock? Egads! đŸ˜ŗ

Must be the holiday spirit kicking in. Even the trolls are not immune.

XV6800 Not Impressed!

Wow how unimpressed I am with this phone. I just got it and it is on the charger. But just from the initial feel, comparing it to the Tilt (which I have), this thing feels and looks like cheap junk. â˜šī¸

I am sorry, the blue wrap around it, makes this thing look like a kid's toy.

The battery cover is as thin as a piece of paper.

The keyboard feels like bubble wrap about to pop.

I have a very difficult decision to make...do I stay with VZW just for the "free" in calling or do I dump them and switch to ATT, have an awesome phone, but pay for not able to use M2M minutes. 🙄 đŸ˜ĸ

Block restricted calls

Is there a way to block restricted calls on an XV6800?

I called VZW CS, and they said it could not be done on the account without blocking all inbound calls. The XV6800 was not out yet when I called them...it is my new phone as of two weeks ago.

I keep getting calls from a restricted number. No one says anything when I answer. If I answer or let it go to voice mail, all I hear is Spanish in the background. It is as though a Spanish-speaking person has me on speed dial.

My Spanish from 30 years ago in high school does me no good, because the background voices are too faint to tell what is being said. It sounds like a phone on a desk is calling me with no one intentionally doing it.

Many times a day...and annoying!

If VZW cannot...

Spam

Has anyone else gotten spam text messages? My wife and I got one each yesterday. My daughter got one today as well as a couple co-workers. Did someone tap into the network to send mass spam text messages? It may not just be Verizon because another co-worker with Nextel got one at 3:30am today. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this. Never happened before.

Blackberry Plan ??'s

I recently got the Pearl so I am new to Blackberry. Are there new BB plans for non-business users? I thought it was $29.99. When I went to pay my bill on line today and there was a $44.99 charge on my account. I called 611 and was told that the only two BB plans are the unlimited for $44.99 and $24.99 for 10 MB. So what is the deal? Thank you in advance.

Samsung i760

Has anyone bought this phone yet? I have been playing with our store's demo for the last couple days, and I *really* like it. I do not currently own a PDA and was curious what everyone else thinks of this phone.

SOS, no insurance and phone damage!

Hi I'm looking for some advice. I ugraded my phone and 2 year agreement just 37 days ago. Well, of all things I dropped my phone and it got run over by a car! I have no insurance, but they won't even sell me a new phone at the upgrade price! They are making me pay full retail. Is there anything I can do?

Text delivery time, Accurate?

hello
and i apologize if this topic has been discussed.
Lately when a text messege is sent upon the Verizon network, it shows as Text Read at XX:XX Time.
when lately I've noticed that some texts are not read for quite a few hours, Yet they still state having been read immediately?

Is this something common, or just a Recent glitch?

Thanks in advance

Venus : Calls open or closed?

Hey guys. Been thinking about the Venus, love the look and so forth. I havent gotten to a store yet to try this, but can calls be made/maintained while closed? Must the phone remain open to use?

Mobile IM

Anyone know the max amount of buddies you can add to the AIM client with Mobile IM? I want to make sure it's not really low before I start to add each person.

Also, is there anyway to automatically add everyone?

This is with a Voyager, btw. thanks!
