Gah so today I had a 7:30 AM English class. As an engineering student, my English isn't exactly my strong point as it is (I have straight As in every class but the required English). Anyhow, I use my old LG EnV as my alarm clock and today it just failed to go off... Completely... This left me up **** creek without a paddle. I woke up and realized English was half over and I ran from my dorm to the class and whaddya' know, I missed a quiz (which I studied decently well for, actually reading instead of using Sparknotes). Of course I can't make it up either
.
Anyway, I can NOT wait much longer for the Storm. Everybody (including myself) has been so excited for all the features of the Storm but, after today, I realized it's best asset may be the fact that it is made by a quality company such as Blackberry and not some piece of garbage company like LG. I've never really had a truly reliable phone, and the Storm may finally give me one. Anybody else feel the same way?10-28-08 08:30 AM - I feel the exact same way. The scary thing is, I'm also an engineering major and english is by far my strong point. My situation was a little different. And its creepy as **** because I have an LG enV also. One day my alarm didn't wake me up, I had to rush to school forgot a book report paper basically on my desk. Go into school, and she won't let me come back and turn it in. Oh I was pissed.Gah so today I had a 7:30 AM English class. As an engineering student, my English isn't exactly my strong point as it is (I have straight As in every class but the required English).

Apparently the speaker is broken, because the speakerphone doesn't work either. Volume was set on maximum, too. I've had it for a little more then two years and its taken some SERIOUS abuse. I held out on getting a new phone because I'm saving my new every two discount for the Storm. But anyways, I ran to my university's book store and picked up a real alarm clock... It even plays relaxing noises for those stressed out days
. But yeah, I've learned to not trust LG so much, especially beyond two years. My sister has the LG Dare and complains that it doesn't work a lot. Meh, Blackberry is definitely the way to go.10-28-08 08:48 AM - LG is a very well-respected company that manufactures great quality devices. That being said, there's always a bad apple in the bunch. You can't expect every single product that comes off the assembly line to be pefect. There are even - gasp! - defective RIM products out there. So its really unfair to blame the entire company for one broken phone.
Here's a tidbit for you - the alarm on my curve recently stopped working; I feel your pain.

I had my phone completely shut off one night(it's been doing that a lot lately), so I was almost screwed for work. Hence the back up one now.
I'm just trying to convince the hubby I need the Storm...He apparently doesn't think so10-28-08 10:12 AM - w00t for Middlesex County.
I Live there too!

ANYWHO-
I have three alarms.
My iPhone goes off about 12 different times- Starting at 5 AM until about 8AM
My Blackberry- goes off once or twice.
AND my TV- Goes on at 8.
I have that Nasty habit of Turning my alarm off when it goes off in the morning without realizing it- while half asleep.
Pisses Me the Heck off.
I find that if it rings super early it jars me out of sleep so that by the Time I actually NEED to be awake, I can be.
Also, I find uneven intervals to work better.
Not Just every 15 minutes- try one set for 6, then the next a 6:17, then the next at 6:32.
Don't know why that helps me, but it does...
I Think it helps Jarr/Shock My Biological Clock out of Sleep Mode.

"Jack of all Trades, Master of None." Comes to mind.
Like Daewoo, they make Cars AND VCR's.
Scary Stuff.
LG Makes TV's Phones, and Refrigerators.
They Don't have a Specialty...
But I agree- Any Company, no Matter how "good", or High Quality their Products are, there will still be bad apples...10-28-08 10:55 AM
