I have Verizon and I love it. What I hate , though, is this piece of crap phone.

LG VX9800 (Verizon Wireless) Cell Phone reviews - CNET Reviews

I'm on #3 of this hunk of shiz in an 18 month period. Now, I love it's features and I love the qwerty key board but the simple fact that I've had 3 of these in less than two years pisses me off.

I bought the thing in September of '06 and stopped using it when I deployed in January of '07 to Kuwait. It sat in a drawer until I returned to the states on Sept 21. It worked fine before I left and fine for the next 2 weeks. Then all of the sudden it started shutting itself off in the middle of calls, everytime I'd put it down, every time I'd shut it, every time I'd so much as look at it wrong. I took it to Verizon and they tested the battery, it was fine. They replaced the phone with a refurbished handset. That was about Oct 15.

That refurbished hand set made it to about the middle of March before it started doing what the last did. I took that handset back to Verizon, same thing as last time. Battery is fine, replace handset with refurbished unit.

Well, guess what refurbished unit started doing today? Yep. Shutting off on a whim. I hate this phone but I like it's features. I want the new envy because frankly, I'm too poor for a Voyager or Valentine (whatever the girly version is). I'm afraid that the New Envy is just as much a piece of puckey.

Anyone have any experience with them? Does anyone here work for verizon and can give me some useful insight?
