…Or rely on Verizon to have common sense.

I’ve had a Motorola Q since January 18th 2007 and ever since then I have loved it over previous phones. I mean you can install free applications on it! But running your own applications on a phone is only cool if it works as a phone.

The first issue with my Motorola Q was that when I hung up on someone the phone would freeze and then I would have to pop out the battery. The issue with my replacement Motorola Q is that it will not ring when someone calls.

I’m getting my third Motorola Q this Friday because Verizon says “I have to test these features so they can find the bugs and fix them.” So this means I am their guinea pig? I pay to be a beta tester now is that it? Forget that! They also told me I could not get a Palm Treo 700p unless I pay $620 after I’ve already paid $150 for a phone that doesn’t work. After this, I asked how much it would cost to cancel the account. To this they said it would be $165 dollars.

I called back later and told them to place the replacement order and they told me I could get a different phone if this one didn’t work out. I suspect I will be calling them back next week for some technical errors.

In closing: If I have to pay $600 for a phone, it will be the iPhone and I will be on Cingulars network where the crooks have Apple products.
