Hi there,

I am new to posting here but have tried to research and read up on many of the various topics and issues with the Droid. Now I would like to ask for some opinions.....I had a BB Curve, very boring but reliable. I got the Droid on the first day it came out and usually never do that. I have had some issues. The battery doesn't last a full day no matter what app killer or what amount of usage. I have read others have had this problem, others have not. I've got the text picture problem in that I can't send them. Well it looks like they go through but really they don't. I tried the fix of changing the format of the numbers but that didn't help. Now I use Handcent but think it's kind of silly that a simple picture text can't be sent on such a sophisticated device. Shouldn't this be basic? I have the issue with it locking up and find the keyboard very sluggish. The camera doesn't focus well at all. Stuff like this. I have gone to the Verizon store and asked for assistance as well as called. I think the problem here though is that while everyone is really nice, it's a new phone for them as well and so they are just making guesses on what to do as well. I gather there is a software release coming on 12/11. Here's the dilemna: I am at the end of 30 days this Sunday, 12/6 so I need to either take it back or exchange it before then. I thought at this point it might be better to take it back and activate the old BB and wait a month or so before repurchasing. I just don't know if I have a lemon or if this is expected behavior and if so, how much of it will be addressed with the software update. Sorry for the lengthy post but would appreciate opinions/ideas! Thank you!

 

Hi,
Thanks and sorry for long rambling message. Yes, have tried that with the battery but to no avail.

Regarding Handsent, I don't mind using it I just think it's a basic function that the device should have and the fact picture texting works for some people but not all should be addressed.

I think I will probably return it and then re-buy it in a month or so. Because otherwise, I really like it!
