Motorola V710
V710 questions - coming from VX4400B
I'm tiring of my VX4400B, and am also frustrated with it's lack of ability to place a call in fringe areas. There are many times that I am forced to wait to place a call because I know in several minutes, the call will just get dropped. It also has a hard time letting go of a weak tower in favor of a stronger tower. When the call finally drops, my signal strength goes to full max.

Is vibrate weaker than VX4400? What's up with the charging?
The vibrate on the v710 is so weak I almost never feel it vibrate in my pocket. I can hear it vibrate if it's sitting on a table in a quiet room.
The charger worked fine for the first few months but as of late the phone give me "Unable To Charge" and I have to play around with the cord to get it to make proper connection and charge. I've found that using my USB cable with the charger attached works 100% of the time. It's hard to explain unless you can see how the phone charges. The charger uses only 3 prongs on the bottom of the phone where the USB cable uses all of the prongs...
