I also thought it weird that both phones were having the same problem. No, I did not go to boards to check for similar problems. Up to these two phones, I had gotten all of my phones for free with the contract renewal. And then the Nexis cost over three hundred dollars a piece, and I'm forced to buy Net Phones to make unaborted calls? No that called for action--not sympatico views. I haven't had any trouble with the RAZRS. I actually wanted the RAZR Max in trade for the Nexis, but Verizon said they could not do that...
