Phone has issues, even with ICS. Specifically:

1) Screen goes blank on call…it is supposed to in order to save battery…but it is supposed to come back on when you hold phone horizontal so you can key voice mail passwords, turn on the speaker, etc. It is REALLY finicky and will stay blank. Touching the screen does not wake it up. Pressing the top button will, but then the phone is locked and you have to slide the ring up…and the screen winks out again! Changing the display settings does not help.

2) Data goes out. Just goes out. I’m in the middle of San Diego. Happens anywhere. No voice commands, no email, nothing. Verizon said to turn off WiFi because phone is not smart enough to “switch” from to mobile data on its own when you are out of range. I turn it off, and it improves, but still is not reliable.

3) Voice commands. They don’t work when data is unavailable. Why not??? They did on my old ClamShell phones in hands free mode! Furthermore, my old clamshell did not confuse calling a contact with calling someplace across the world. I’m convinced Google has some priority logrhythm for ad revenue…and it interferes with calling your contacts. So probably not a phone issue. Tried a friends Iphone…it doesn’t work much better. Stick to ClamShell phones?????

Wow. I just added it to my cart at $199. I chatted with customer service and they said “That is the price at this time”. Not sure I’ll push the Submit button on the order now. With the new Samsung out today, I thought they’d drop the price (again).

Guess what? The price on Verizon’s website is $199 again today. I was seriously considering taking this deal when my NE2 eligibility began tomorrow, but now I’m just really upset.

I have had mine almost since launch, and it has been awesome. Performance is great for me. I dont like Sense either, but Sense runs very smooth on the Rezound.

Best camera I have seen so far, and the display still has the best pixel density of any phone out right now, including all the 720p phones. And unlike the Nexus, it not only has an SD slot, but it supports 64 gig SD Cards.

If you add the extended battery to your cart on the Verizon Wireless site, the price drops to $29.99. Must be an unadvertised online only special. Free 2 day shipping.

This is an awesome, awesome phone and I recommend it to everyone who’s considering it! This is seriously a steal.

If put it in your cart from the mobile site the discount is taken off. The only problem is the mobile site wont let you choose your data plan, and automatically changed out to a $30 4 gig plan. I called this morning and the rep had me bill it to my account then manually have me the $50 credit.

When I did the chat session, I also copied the chat session to notepad and saved it to desktop and dropbox.

Has anyone thought that maybe the price drop to $49.99 will “end” April 9th because then after that it becomes a free phone? The Incredible 2 is free, as are other devices…and with the Incredible 4G (hopefully) not costing over $200 that means a permanent price drop would be obvious for the Rezound…even if it went back up to $79, w/e….

Considering it’s rooted and debloated already, no I didn’t.
