My dad is retired, but he expressed interest in being able to check his email on his phone, the sales rep lured me into getting both my dad and myself a T-Mobile g2x smartphone since they are running a promotion where they are free, big mistake.

The phone has been freezing 5-10 times a day, I basically tried everything including running the phone stock for a few weeks by not installing any apps (which defeats the purpose of having a smartphone) but it still had issues. The GPS loses signal all the time. But the biggest problem is that I tried to use the phone to call into my daily teleconference for work, and it won’t pick up the keys that I enter for the access code, I’ve tried calling using my sister’s phone and it works perfectly fine.

Awesome!
