EDGE has been incredibly flakey, I used to be able to check show times when in a moving car. Now everything just times out. This is while being a passenger not driving...

In order to use EDGE while stationary I have to turn the phone off, then back on. I have to do this for every secession, and today it's not working at all.

I'm getting an error: "Can't activate EDGE"...

The button on the top that locks the phone, if you press it while talking to someone it disconnects the call. This was a handy feature, being that I've hung up on many people because my cheek has hit disconnect.

When receiving a call some times it will ring once, then they have to call back. Furthermore, since the update came out on tuesday I've experienced over 25 dropped calls. This is starting to infuriate friends & family, and I have no idea what's causing it.

If it's possible I'm going to downgrade to 1.1.2 and then try and jail break it. This is just completely unacceptable.

Last resort I'll just put it on eBay and go back to a basic phone.

mine has also been acting up. i get the same cant activate edge message in areas where it worked before, and the most aggravating part is that the Edge icon is still displayed on the top even though it doesnt work.

I agree...Edge has been real flaky since the update. Several days ago it would not activate and the E symbol turned into a white block.:confused: I haven't been able to replicate that again.

Also I have not once had a dropped call until this last update. I was also unable to call out for a minute or so and I would get a Failed to Connect message.:rolleyes:

I've been having the same problems with EDGE.

Also, I'm dropping calls as thestaton mentioned. I'm dropping calls in areas were I've NEVER had problems before...EVER.

Also, my mail is completely messed up. After installing the update, all of my mail was redownloaded....200 messages. I know have to sort through everything again to see what I need to keep and what I need to delete.

I really wish i didn't download this update.
