I then took my battery out to put it in the new/refurb one only to notice that the pink was blotched on the phone, but not on the battery. Called them and they told me not to return it. So I'm stuck with this hunk of junk. I mean don't get me wrong, I love the phone, but the reception is horrible. I'm running Liquid JB and I have had the latest radios since they came out. Just went on a trip and no one could get a hold of me nor could I do anything with my phone as far as data and it really sucked.
I was going to ask about the hybrids, but after reading, I think I should just hold off till new radios come out (if they do).
I have even just thought about selling the phone if I could get enough out of it and then saving up to get something out of contract.
What I would do: wait for the new radios and see if it helps.
Meanwhile, call Verizon every day and complain about the poor signal. Tell them it effects you all the time, work and life and its always bad. Tell them their customer service has been terrible. Complain about the refurb. Ask to speak to managers. Complain (just for the sake of getting what you want) about the infrequent updates. Or the failure of the updates to solve your signal.
They will get you a replacement gnex or something else (RAZR I would guess) if you complain enough. Free of course.
Anyway: I wouldn't take the loss of selling it , since you signed a contract for a working phone, and yours doesn't work.
And btw I hate complaining but you gotta get something done right?
