lol. I just called verizon to see if they had received notice or other reports of people complaining about this (i know it isn't carrier specific, but i can dream that the device manufacturers send notice of problems to the carriers) and not only did i get the "no i'm sorry sir, we have heard nothing about this problem" i was also told that "it could be because we are in the northeast and it hasn't hit us yet" after i told her this problem has been reported world wide and also asked me if i had any other problems with my driod eris after i said "Windows Mobile devices" about 40 times in the course of the call...

sigh...

I'm just gonna use my friends here at ppc geeks for any tech support problems I have, k?

also, google searching hasn't found a fix yet.
