Even though I got some really annoyed looks at the Verizon store tonight (too bad for them), I swapped out my phone and SIM, per HTC/Verizon tech support recommendation.
I kid not, this phone's frame around the screen is different. While my previous Rezounds's screen was flush with the frame, this one has a bit of a raised frame around the screen. I'm not sure if that is a good/bad thing.
As for the reception - remember, now I'm back to pre-OTA Update - it comes/goes. When I bought the 1st Rezound on Saturday, my 4G was rockin'! 24 hours later, after the update and tested in the same, exact location, my speeds went UP. Woohoo! Until by the next day, same location, I couldn't even connect to data. And by today, the phone kept dropping calls. *sad face* HTC/Verizon thought it was the update.
As of tonight, I have a brand new, swapped phone & a brand new SIM...and, NO update. My phone IS holding reception so far, but speeds are in the mid-teens, as opposed to the first glorious night with the 1st Rezound...where speeds hit 20s and 30s.
Tomorrow will be the do-or-die test. It seems I get the worst reception at my office (a perfectly 4G-capable, metropolitan area) on this phone. If it works, it's a keeper. If not....we will have to break up.
Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed...
