apparently my issue with data was not a concidence. check this out:
Motorola Getting Users to Help Test Bionic Bugfix Update
Even though it's a Bionic story, clearly this tells me they have issues with these devices. Especially in areas where 4g signal becomes weak and data just turns off completely. This is what happened to me with the RAZR. Looks like they are on it so a fix is coming but 60 days is too long. Plus wonder if they figured out the RAZR is having the same problem.
