So Amp’d Mobile, the truly amped-up Verizon Wireless reseller that focuses heavily on high-speed data, video, games and graphics, just recently launched early this year with the infamous “shake your junk” commercial. And it appears from day one, Amp’d had a lot of junk to shake out.
Users and resellers are reporting that a majority of Amp’d’s first batch of phones to hit store shelves are defective, some looping in a constant reboot cycle, others not able to access the broadband “Amp’d live” content. Considering the way Amp’d has touted the capabilities of their phones and the content that can be streamed through them, this is definitely not the way to launch a wireless service. Weren’t any of these units tested before they hit the stores?
