    Angry Droid X a disappointment in Europe

    Mu husband is in Poland and can't use skype when connected with wifi and he can't reply to email either. He gets his emails but verizon blocks outgoing email. What a waste of a phone! It was advertised as a skype phone but that's only if you never leave the US! And he can use all other wifi services but he can't respond to his email? WTF?

    The phone was marketed in the US but people don't stay only in the US, they travel for business. We were in the verizon store countless times over the past 4 months deciding which would be the best phone and all the techs told us that skype would work in Europe and that the wifi would work and while they were right about wifi, why in the world would they block outgoing email? what good is a phone you can't use to communicate? he didn't need gps...he knew where he was and where he was going.

    basia523 - sorry to hear about your issues. Although I love my X I've come to learn the sales reps in the stores and phone have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. My sales rep was trying to tell me I can simply replace my sim chip when Verizon goes to 4G. The only way you are going to get solid advice / experience is on these sites. You may not agree with all of the opinions but most of the how-to and feature advice is accurate. If you are still within your 30-days return that sucker to the same sales person who told you that and let them know how wrong they were so the same mis-information isn't being propogated to others.

    Sounds like you have an issue with Verizon, not the Droid X.

    Well, I've seen quite a few posts come across this forum and this is the first time I've ever seen someone say that Verizon blocks outgoing emails in Europe.

    Now, I'm not going to go beyond that. Did a Verizon rep tell you that or is your husband telling you that?
