I searched the forum and could not find a similar post regarding this problem.
I picked up the V-iP on Feb. 10th. All went well with setups, synching, transfers, etc. I have been very satisfied with the phone until yesterday. For some reason, the internet or email could not be accessed. Each function that required web access froze up with the spinning status symbol showing and the battery drained rapidly in standby throughout the day (even though all apps were closed), more so than it ever had since owning it. Initially I thought it was a regional network issue but after calling Verizon Tech Supp I learned it was not.
The Tech had me dial *228 and select option 2 (I think). The voice prompt stated that my roaming privileges were updated. I was then instructed to power down the phone and power back up. After doing so, all web access (and accumulated emails) was back.
This morning, the same thing occurs. No internet access. After power down/up, access returns. At this point I am beginning to become concerned. Is this a lemon that I have or has anyone else experienced this? I think that it is unreasonable to constantly have to 'reboot' the phone for dropped internet access.
I suppose my next step is to trek back to the Apple Store if this happens again tomorrow.
