Love- Hate relationship with BB Tour 2010
Well, I've had my BB Tour for almost a year now, and I must say it is a love- hate relationship with this phone. There are many nice features but the gliches and "issues" are so aggravating. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a better option on the horizon.
1- The ring tone/ vibrate/ contact settings on this phone are so wrong. I have the option of setting specific ring tones for contacts with the ability to customize each sound- HOWEVER, the sound profile settingdoes not acknowledge these settings. I cannot set the volume to vibrate,with success unless I set each contact setting the same. Poor design.
This occurred after the most recent update.
2-I cannot understand why I have such frequent updates. Each time I do, I have to re configure my settings throughout the phone.
3- VZ navigaor- great feature, I love having this. But the montly cost makes me wonder if there is a 'no charge' app that will work just as well. Again, when VZ Nav upgrades, it does it when I need the navigation system the most- on the road or needing directions. It does not give me the option of upgrading when I'm at home when I am not needing the app.
4- Having the ability to check my email is a great feature. But it seems I am too exposed and had my email just hacked. The only link was the phone since my other sources are almost bulletproof. Perhaps my carelessness, but nervertheless an irritant.
Does anyone else have the same issues or frustrations? Are there any suggestion you might offer so I can be in more of a "like" relationship with my phone? OR, does anyone have a suggestion for a possible replacement phone?
