I looked at the Renown late this summer and liked what I saw, however I only got around to going to a Verizon store to upgrade today…they no longer carried it and said it would have to be special ordered from the warehouse.

They had a replacement called the Verizon Escapade but I didn't like the look as much as the Renown.

Was there something wrong with the Renown? It seems like it came and went within a couple months, were there problems in the manufacturing quality or did people just not buy it? I'd still like to get it but I don't want a lemon.

P.S. I'm interested in a quad-band phone but don't need/want a Blackberry.
