I dropped mine and the trackball bounced out, ring and all. I put it back together and it's held up since (about 9 months since the drop). I recently misplaced my phone for 36 hours and the withdrawal was quick, long and painful.<br /><br />I am glad you've gotten resolution. Yes, I too have a love hate relationship but like any addiction. I feel I can't do without it. You've captured those views well...Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-72392722425322089112009-06-01T11:01:56.983-05:002009-06-01T11:01:56.983-05:00John and Joe,

I am always amazed that with any of these cell phone companies, there is one person that knows what they are doing surrounded by 50 that only have a partial clue as to what is going on. And from my experience, all the companies have similar problems. Sprint actually has a very economical unlimited plan, but you got to watch them like a hawk.<br /><br />Sometimes I think the trick is finding the right person to interact with, because a lot of them are clueless.cpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-538479177677266402009-05-31T15:12:26.182-05:002009-05-31T15:12:26.182-05:00Since it's cell phone day and not long ago I s...Since it's cell phone day and not long ago I said I was done talking about mine at my own blog...<br /><br />I returned a Motorola Tundra to AT&T after I read online that my problems with bugs were known issues and got a Samsung Rugby. I like it, but all the old headsets I had didn't fit it. I needed an adapter, but AT&T suggested that I look online. I found one locally at a Verizon store after I bought a data transfer kit and the headset that came with it as a bonus didn't fit the phone. I simply mentioned to the salesman that it didn't fit and he told me to hold on while he checked in the back. Sure enough! Out he came just a little while later with an adapter. It fit great! Problem was, the person on the other end of my conversations heard an annoying buzz when I was using it.<br /><br />I sought another one with little luck traveling far and wide to malls and shopping centers. The other Verizon geeks wouldn't give me the time of day when they saw that I had an AT&T phone. Until yeseterday when I was many miles from home in Johnson City, NY. I explained to one of the Verizon guys what was wrong with the adapter I got and he ran right into the back room to get me a new one. Couldn't sell it to me, he said, 'cause it didn't have a SKU. He could, however, and did simply give it to me.<br /><br />Ironically, the one that I'd ordered online arrived while we were shopping. $23 with shipping. Same exact thing. Now I have an extra, but that's okay. I'd have wanted a reliable spare anyway.<br /><br />- Joe at <A HREF="http://scootindavalley.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Scootin' da Valley</A>Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575182248998162641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-21727468762035602622009-05-30T02:01:55.206-05:002009-05-30T02:01:55.206-05:00Sounds like the sort of horror story I get with te...Sounds like the sort of horror story I get with technology.

(Nobody hardly ever calls me) But I spend probably way more time than I should on the web. I also use the notepad function a lot and a good portion of this and other posts were actually composed on the BlackBerry, then e mailed to my office where the final post is assembled.cpa3485https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031439889267356735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2259595163018451877.post-42222654699229495452009-05-29T10:16:19.785-05:002009-05-29T10:16:19.785-05:00Jim:WOW.

I also just purchased a "smart phone" but this one is really smart, it's like having a PC in your pocket, along with a camera, videocam, pdf reader, Windows Mobile 6.1 <EM>(word, excel, powerpoint)</EM> so I know what you mean about having access to the WEB, forums and email.
