I switched from the Razor, which had a common wear problem with the keypad, to a more rugged Motorola design...but it wasn't tough enough against the trunklid of my car. I stupidly set it down while cleaning something out, and slammed the lid on it. There are still some phone numbers hidden within I'd rather have, along with the pictures, but I'm too damn cheap and stubborn to pay Verizon's data recovery fees.
They keep all their technology so close to their vest, when it SHOULD be open. No way Verizon should be able to ignore the SIM card revolution...and they eliminate features in many of their phones. At one point, I hacked one of my Razors...and was able to use the vibrate before ring feature that verizon's lords decided we didn't deserve.
They piss me off, but every time I get into it with them, I remind them I've been a client for over twenty years, faithfully. And I've kept every cell phone I've ever used. For an art project I call "brain cancer". They usually give me anything I want after that, I'm surprised they haven't caught on yet.
Cheers!
