well the new phone arrived with win 6.1 . Got it activated and while doing a test call to my house it turned off. Started it back up and tried another call. Message I got was verizon cannot authenticate at this time. set the phone down on the kitchen table to get my house phone to call tech support and it was shut off again. Ended up sending it back as a dead phone and have another one coming on Monday.

Sorry I thought I had mentioned it was upgraded to 6.5. I don't think going back to 6.1 should be an option, I was told this phone was upgradable to the new opperating system so I should not need to settle for an older OS! 6.5 is much better than 6.1 except this bug that is the battery life.

BTW, what happens when it gets warmer andI need to use the bluetooth for my bike?? Do I have to run the phone plugged in all the time??
