I have Verizon too...my phone randomly loses calls, or doesn't have any signal when there's a tower a mile away from me.

I had the T720 back when It first came out. Biggest pos I ever bought. I returned it like 4 times and eventually they gave me a new T730. Although it was better it still is a piece of crap. I've returned this one like 3 times, all for various reasons. God I can't wait untill my contract is up!

Mine does the same thing. I'm on Cingulars network, so the phone must be a POS.

I cannot begin to tell you how many of those damn things I returned to Verizon because they fell apart .They finally coughed up a T730 and thus far it has worked as designed .

Could care less about the extra silly stuff. I'd rather not have a camera to be honest. Just wanted a reliable signal without the dropped calls.

Interesting.

The wife had the T720, and I agree, it was a POS^3219837913

They eventually exchanged it with the LG 1200 which is an improvement, but still not that good.

I got the V400, flexed, and its flawless so far. Every once in a while the system wil hang; nothing is perfect.

Ya thats how my dad is, he could really care less about the features, but I thought maybe you had a 04 TL, than it would be worth it
