    Receiving CLN Droid Charge today...Poll: keep or return?...

    If your screen is burned in, I would definitely trade for another phone. Whether it is reconditioned or not it will be better than what you have (imo). I assume a warranty will remain in place with this CLN unit. ...Unless they offer you a choice of any new phone in the store, I would accept...

    Upgrade Thoughts

    OK...I've had my Charge for about a month. Basically, (unlike many others) I am pleased with it thus far. That being said, it is disappointing that no upgrade has been introduced. Last I heard (from this Board), a new version was suppose to be launched on Monday past. I have received no word...

    Droid charge getting discontinued??

    Bottom line......I'm no tech guru. Will Verizon be releasing a new software upgrade for the Charge? Is there a planned date?

    Is it that bad?

    I too switched from an older basic BB. I purchased my new Charge about 3-4 weeks ago after visiting the Verizon store. I've been eligible for an upgrade the last 5 months or so. In hindsight (after listening to the rants here) I wish I had waited. To hear that this phone is "dead in the water"...

    Alarm ?

    Thanks all for the recent help with my new Charge. Thus far I have few complaints. I have a question about the alarm. My old BB allowed me to set the alarm and then I could power off the phone and the alarm would sound and the phone would turn on. Does my Charge do this or does the phone have...

    LED Notification settings?

    I don't have a LED notification indicator and I downloaded the app "Noled". I think it works great with very little battery drain. Love it.

    Gmail account and using stand-alone Outlook

    I recently purchased a Droid Charge and use Outlook as my primary desktop e-mail for work. My work address is g-mail. I sync my Outlook calendar with a g-mail calendar. G-mail provides a D/L program free to do this. Most of my calendar inputs are made through Outlook so I have mine to sync...

    sync with calendar

    I have been using Outlook and syncing with a Blackberry. Now that I have purchased my Droid, can I still sync with Outlook or is it better to use the g-mail calendar. My business address is a Gmail address. I would assume a Google OS works better with their product than a Microsoft calendar...

    Thoughts on the Charge

    I've had my charge for about a week. Basically, I am pleased except for a less than perfect earpiece. I could return it within 14 days but feel this is the best at Verizon at this time. Plus, I got a decent price at $169. An exchange would probably add another $100. It sure is an upgrade from my...

    poor earpiece audio

    I have not had my Droid "Charge" long but so far I like it except for inferior audio at times from the earpiece. Is this a trait of the phone? Just seems my old BB Curve had much better reception.

    Notification

    I downloaded the Noled app and am very pleased. I see no battery drain but I make sure I use all battery saving options. So far I like the app and my new Charge!

    Notification

    I'm new to the Charge and did nod not notice a notification light when I have a message. My BB use to blink (red) when in "idle" to let me know I had a voice mail, e-mail or message. Does it exist and where would it be? Thanks.

    Car chargers

    Do I need to spend $20 plus for a car charger? I've seen some on ebay for $6 or so. Will my phone be damaged from an inferior charger? Can I by a charger with a USB port and charge my phone? Thanks.

    Which location service

    I'm new to this forum and learning my new Charge. Still debating if I should keep it or wait for a newer model. The phone works great right now. Much better than my old BB. Question: What location service is best to use for car navigation? There are three listed: VZW, Standalone, or Google.
