First...The charge sucks. This coming from a 3-charge guy as a replacement for my original TB. I begged for it. Nothing like sitting in a room full of phones on your account and everyone has a full signal except you and your charge. Very weak antenna in rural areas.
Second...When dealing with VZ about the 3rd bad charge I too was only offered the revolution, TB and Pantech something or other. Took the TB (back). No regrets. Gingerbread, battery fixes....two weeks in and I'm happy. I asked the Level 2 Tech supervisor about the Bionic....."Not authorized....dual processor". So charge should be last resort, and last thing I would expect is a Razr. They are bending over backwards to please 7+ year old customers, but cant keep sending you the newest product out the door.They are caught in the middle between you and the phone manufacturers. Getting the charge was a gift....I coerced the sales manager (local store) to do the switch the first time. I timed it with the first battery upgrade patch...phone kept shutting off. Turns out my gift was a huge painful lump of coal. Stick with the TB until your contract is up.
Lesson learned....Dont let Motorola, LG, HTC, or Samsung prove out their newest phones under your contract. Because you end up stuck. I hear the ipod 5 (4G) is coming out next summer. Just about the same time my TB contract is up. I hear Apple hasnt released it yet because they value the customer enough to work out as many bugs possible before letting us who are eager to have the next best thing....have it.
