Mine seem to make and receive calls OK. What problem are you having?

Being presumtuous enough to try and speak for him, I think he's
(over)stating his disappointment in that Verizon (of which I am a customer)
seems to often be behind in offering new and unique cell phone technology,
I myself have written to Verizon and have 'complained' about this.

An older example is the Motorola Razr, a phone which was introduced to the
public a full two years or more before it was made available to verizon. And
then, when the other providers were offering the Razr as a free phone,
Verizon was charging $300 with a contract.

You can see the same thing happening right now. T-Mobile, for example, has
the unique, compact, consumer-friendly Blackberry Pearl. The best Verizon
could do was come up with the much more business oriented Blackberry 8830.
T-Mobile got the iPhone. Verizon didn't. I believe there are other examples.

So, yes, from a purely practical viewpoint, VZ's phones work. But some of us
are into the latest technology, and/or the latest craze. For us, VZ
consistently disappoints.

If Pegleg meant something else, well, then mark me down as having spoken for
myself! :-)
