[olug] Syncing address

Sat Jun 18 05:25:47 UTC 2011

That's the phone I had with all the problems...(dropping calls, randomly
rebooting, missing calls, etc.)  And I had it on US Cellular - so it sounds
like it was no better for other providers.

I know there is an Android load for it, but I didn't keep it that long.  It
just wasn't worth the hassle.
