I didn't get the iPhone because of all that BS. I got a Blackberry instead and now am eligible for an upgrage. Basically I'm waiting a bit to see if AT&T will get the good Droid phones (that compete with the Apple) and change plans when Verison gets thier iPhone.

WiMAX IS 4G lol.

Furthermore, not all 4G is the same...Verizon's is called LTE...

i've enjoyed having 2.1 but my dad has been having some major issues with his phone. it may or may not be related to the 2.1 update (over the air not forced). yesterday it kept going to some kind of screen that looked like a diag screen. i followed the steps to force the 2.1 update but instead of resinstalling it, i just reset it that way and it's worked fine since. anyone else had this issue? i think it might have been one of his apps causeing the issue, not specifically the 2.1 update

MightyBobo · 04-05-2010, 05:39 PM

Nope, no issues with 2.1 here. I did the do-it-yourself method, btw.

Battery usage really seems to have improved with the update.

Seconding this. I've had to charge my phone nightly since I got it, forgot to charge it last night and it still isn't in the red yet.

m4a1mustang · 04-05-2010, 06:35 PM

I used to go in to work with a full charge and leave in the afternoon with maybe 1/4 life left. Left today with 3/4 life... nice!

HKYStormFront · 04-05-2010, 06:49 PM

This can be troubleshooted by booting into safemode.
