Well that sounds unusual.  Probably a defective phone then.

My wife runs a Nokia E63 bought from newegg.ca on our rogers plan.
No problems so far.  We just had to add a small data plan to use internet
access on it since rogers of course classifies that phone as a smart
phone, which means unlimited WAP doesn't qualify on it.  It now has a
150MB for $15/month data plan, which is plenty and works well.
