I bought my wife the Motorola Backflip through AT&T the day they came out on 3/7/2010. After 2-3 weeks, her texting locked up. She restarted the phone and all texts were gone. Thinking it was just a fluke, we ignored it. Then about 3 weeks later, it happened again. Today is the 3rd time and now she hates the phone.
She was texting with a friend and hit send. She gets a message back saying that the text could not be delivered. So she goes back into her texts and there is nothing there. She likes to keep running conversations with some people and leaves stuff there to go back to later...so much for doing that.
I haven't found any forum articles like this for the backflip or AT&T yet, but it appears to be an issue with the android OS in general, not specific to a phone or carrier.
It really is ridiculous. Backing up messages to have to restore later seems likes a pain and it's extra work you shouldn't have to do. I have an iphone and she almost bought one too, but decided on the backflip after seeing the cool commercials. Now she's regretting it and looking for someone to trade an iphone for her backflip.
