Ask to see manager or the manager’s manager. Its insane to not want to try an resolve this issue. Fo those of us who have 80% and up functionality ..okay wait for fix. (Still a crappy answer)

I have the same issues. Verizon wont do anything. They won’t help until Google says there is a problem. Effing joke when I’m paying through the nose for the “amazing” new device.

I wanted to love this phone, but god I had tons of issues I don’t see mentioned…

Sense UI FC’ing on me all the time,
Phone getting extremely slow to respond to touchscreen input, like a slow computer. Needed to reboot 2-3 times a day to make it useable.

Its not just me, as I work Verizon retail and have seen several other customers with the same issues.

Incredible 2 doesn’t seem to have any of these issues.

I am kind of curious about this too. I am rooted with the latest patch (fixed low volume on video record, allowed for bloatware removal), and not sure I really need the upgrade. Someone suggested this patch could perm lock the boot loader. Kind of a spooky statement, is it possible?

So should I accept the update if I am planning to root the phone? (My GPS doesn’t work properly, so would love the update for that alone!)

Get the T-Bolt. I was in the same situation and got it. Traveled to Phoenix and the 4G for web surfing was amazing. As fast as my cable modem at home. Not sure it will make a difference on texting and email. I can deal with the battery life, by making some adjustments it is manageable. But you do have to manage it.

I’m planning to root before May 15. Should I not do the update?

I was wondering the same, because of the previous RUU leak. Does anybody know if it officially does?

Yep, it’s there. I don’t know how I missed it. On my other two Android phones it shows up inside “about phone.”
