So yes, the Imagio is obsolete now, and in just a couple months the Droid Incredible will be obsolete, and 6-9 months from now the Evo will be obsolete, etc., etc.

I'm not trying to claim that the Imagio isn't flawed, because it is, but it was a legitimately awesome phone in Oct. 2009. In smartphone-time, that was a LONG time ago.
Honestly, the Imagio has never really been that awesome. ... maybe for about a week. We all just fooled ourselves into thinking it was finally the answer to all of our prayers. Reality is that we've been suffering from the exact same bugs, sluggishness, battery problems, and smart phone envy for the past 8 or so years with Windows.
