The only pain is trying to tell that to government customers… they never have time for anything, even fixing stuff! haha

From soak test, what we discovered is that when anyone had a problem, have them clear their cache. Doing it once usually solves EVERYTHING. Basically, the upgrade process was awful, but the software is fine after a cache wipe.

From working in customer care… no, not for many customers it doesn’t.

What is the wireless charging that is listed as a feature on the VZ site?

Part of the problem with this is that the phone itself is geared towards movies, pics, vids and gaming….. you can’t do much of that with 16GB (you can if you continually shuffle stuff around). Lets remember that you aren’t really getting 16GB… more like 10-11.

Why bother releasing the best screen, best processor with 2GB of RAM and only leave people with less than 16GB!!!.. Who in HTC’s camp put this together and said yeah…. no extended memory is awesome!!! It’s stupidity like this that is making HTC lose money along with not releasing the phone to all carriers! Seriously was salivating for this phone and then the specs come out for the battery and no expandable memory (PASS). There really is no point in releasing a super “Entertainment” driven phone and then leave you without enough room to put anything on it after you install the usual apps and games. Holy fail batman!! They even gloat about the fact that games would be awesome on this…. too bad you can only have about 2 of the top games on the phone at a time. Most of them are in the GB range as far as how much memory they take!

It says this phone has wireless charging on Verizon’s website. Is that built-in or is it a case that Verizon has for some of their other phones?

That would be excellent! But I still won’t buy it unless I can have at least 32GB of storage. Oh well, hopefully there are other beast-like phones just around the corner (maybe wishful thinking…).

Ha, well I made the mistake of having high hopes.

I had hopes, not high ones, but hopes.

Yeah, I was extremely disappointed when I read about this phone today. I had been so excited too!

The J Butterfly is going to Japan, China and Taiwan. China does not have cloud services with Google. I am not sure about Taiwan. I have my facts straight, thanks.

I agree that cloud services are easier, that is why I said what I did. Your originally comment was

“Verizon got rid of unlimited data and is now forcing MFG to limit on board memory, they want more money!”

That is where I came in. That is why I commented that Verizon isn’t the one to blame here for missing SD Cards, but the finger should be pointed more in Google’s direction if you are going to be upset about it. You were the one commenting on inexperienced users, airplanes and long commutes. Your side of the argument is pretty hard to see.

What one of the founders said might possibly be different from what Google/Android stated after the release of ICS. With the new trend of incorporating manufacturer’s custom additions into 4.2 that doesn’t surprise me much.
