I'm done with it.
Getting something else on Monday.
Piece of donkey crap crashed during backup. Restored to factory settings. Everything I had on it deleted.
G.A.R.B.A.G.E.
Suggestions on what to buy? Fuck Apple.

I would go with the I-Phone 4, it has the wifi's.

What service do you have?
Verizon? At&t? ......
At&t - Samsung Captivate, HTC Inspire or Motorla Atrix (Atrix is by far their best phone IMO...)
Verizon - Samsung Fascinate, HTC Thunderbolt, Droid Incredible, Droid X, Droid Pro (All great phones, X or the Incredible are probably the best in the line ups there)
HTC's are great phones, but their batteries are shitty...

My wife has a Droid.
It's been awful. It's had problems ever since we got it. Problems like it crashes. It randomly shuts off. It freezes. It loses its memory and resets itself to factory settings.
Every time we bring it in, they give us shit for it.
Warranty? Psh. They sent a new battery. Then when I got involved, they gave us a new phone. Three months later? The new phone started randomly shutting off during calls and while on the internet.
So I brought it in and was ready to blow a gasket. The nimrod working the counter opened the phone up and pointed at some little square near the battery.
"It changed color," he said.
"What's your point?" I said.
"Well, it only changes color when it gets water damage, and water damage nullifies your warranty," he said.
"Get fucked," I said.
And we're stuck with 9 more months on this contract until we can run far, far away from the Droid.
To sum up - stay away from HTC.

If you call Verizon's 800 #, they will hook you up. Even the people on the 800 # will tell you do not go to the stores. And as far as that little red square goes, if you live in alot of humidity, that square will turn red regardless. I had similar issues with the in-store people. I called the 800 # and no problem, they had me a new phone the next day.

Sounds like what would happen to me with my ex wife. You sure your wife isn't just a pain in the ass?
I have the Evo through Sprint and have had no problems. Battery life is an issue but there are some things that you can do to extend it significantly.

HTC is the best out there. Flawless as it gets. I peg mine out to the max and it rides smooth. I think you got a lemon dude. Or either damaged it not meaning too. Those things are extremely sensitive to water damage.
The Incredible (Ver) and Evo (Sprint) are the best 3G phones. As Chop said, Thunderbolt (Ver) for 4G. AT&T's droids are the suckass.

I extend my battery by keeping the phone plugged in at all times.

Still phone dead. Can't call anybody, can't get calls.
Apparently the crash occurred during backup. Backup file is alleged to be corrupted. That's so super damn awesome.
Contacts? Apparently gone.
Photos/Music? Gone.
Calendar? Gone.
Apps? Gone.
AT&T store was massively helpful. "Uhhh. Maybe call Apple?"
BestBuy was great. "You got that service, we can get you another one. A refurb. But your stuff is gone"
Apple support was amazing. "Press one, Press two, Press four, Press eleven and the pound sign. Say the name of your first dog. Did you say Rassenfeffer? Press one if you said Rassenfeffer. Press two if you said something else. Did you say Booze? Press four if you said Booze. Press five if you want Booze. I'm sorry, that is not a valid command. Spell the capitol of the Czech Republic and push the pound sign. Sorry, that is the capitol of Uzebekistan. Press nine if you've seen Kat Dennings naked. Thank you. She isn't having trouble with her iPhone. Type in the combination to the locker you had in seventh grade to speak to Kat Dennings. I'm sorry, "fuck you" isn't a recognized command. Goodbye."
I am strongly considering purchasing the biggest bottle-rocket type explosive device I can find at Shelton Fireworks (if you've never been and like things that blow up, find a Shelton's), strapping this damn phone to it and then shooting it into the ocean.
