I have had the Samsung Rogue since Jan 7th, it worked great until about a couple of months ago. my phone does not receive texts messages till about 20-30 minutes after the other person sent them. most of the time i will get several messages at once, when i do get them. whenever i send a picture message sometimes it will certainly send just fine and some other times it might take a few minutes, hours, or a day to get to the other person. i have heard of others having problems with their phone randomly shutting off, mine does that too. my first samsung rogue got so bad i had to get a replacement unit, that was almost 2 weeks ago. I am still having the same difficulties with my new one! I am so frustrated, i just want to get a new type of phone. i payed retail for the rogue and am so mad that it switched out to be a crappy phone :/ just my rant…
