i really wanted the quickfire when i saw it on a magazine i thought it was different because it wasnt like any touch screen it acually had a keypad! but when i found out about it i as sad…if they ever do fix it i would sure be the first customer! that phone beats the LG Vu..:-)

I have a quickfire. Yes the touch screen can be kinda slow but i still like it. The people charging it wrong are not stupid. I did not even notice the arrow; it is very hard to see. The problem is that it sticks in both ways easily – one way charges it while the other way causes it to heat up and retain the same charge. My charger for the quickfire broke so I hope the replacement is good.

@ AT&T Rep.. actually i’ve tried to do that and guess what? it doesn’t do anything, people have to put their whole damn finger on the thing which “breaks” the phone? looks like the phone is an epic failure.

Riley, the screen is actually quite sensitive people just seem to PRESS the screen when all it requires is a very light touch because the screen is heat sensitive not push sensitive. So by pushing it what you’re really doing is breaking it and making it less sensitive.

The Quickfire was discontinued because of issues with the screen. Customers constantly complained of the screen not being sensitive and freezing. The phone also likes to power itself down on a regular basis.Not to mention the paint wore off the QUICKFIRE keys within a week of use. This phone was junk from the start.

Um, how about instead of telling people to plug it in the right way, they just tell everyone to bring the piece of junk back for a full refund/exchange, regardless if it’s under 30 days?

I smell it… I can… can you? *Sniff sniff*… Lawwwwww suuuuuit. All you need is one good burn injury or a smoldering home. It’s a wrap son!

I agree with YoungC. How in the heck do you have plug it in wrong??

I guess that’s another reason why Nokias are so popular…their connectors are circular so the direction doesn’t really matter. Still, you gotta wonder how these people even ended up being able to use this phone if they can’t even charge it correctly?!

people who dont know the right way to plug in a charger should be banned from all cell phones

“Significant overheating” – I kinda like that term for “bursts into flames”…
