Ok, so I've been using my TB for almost a year now, got it back in July (2011), and for what it is, it's a decent phone, but it has it's issues as we all know. Right now, the only problem(s) I have are that when someone calls, they sound like a robot, very very tinny sounding, and not sure why? Also, it seems that whenever I need to use my phone for the internet, it almost never fails that it will not connect to the cell radio. Works like a champ when I am at home on my wifi, and for the most part, when I'm out and about, but it's just murphy's law that when I need it, it doesn't want to work, kind of annoying. As for the voice thing, been doing that ever since I upgraded to the lastest GB release. I'm not rooted or anything, although I have thought about it several times in hopes that it would fix my problems, but not sure.
My question is, if I were to buy another phone on say ebay that is "unlocked" could I just swap sim cards or something and start using that phone, or take it in to Verizon (the new phone) and just activate it and start using it. I'm just not sure if I can hold out until July of 2013 for any upgrade. I'm tired of waiting for Verizon and HTC to push out ICS, which I'm sure will fix some problems and make new ones, as it does for any phone, but I am just really thinking about moving on from the TB. It seems like it should be a fantastic phone, and I am just out of patience dealing with it.
Basically, how does the whole getting a new unlocked phone work. I don't want to waste 100-200 bucks and then have a brick. Granted I am taking my chances on ebay, and perhaps I should look around here, but I think I am just tired of "defending" my phone and just need to find one that works. (fruitless journey on that one, but still, no more patience)
Ideas? Help?
