smoove21 - I laughed reading your original post, it's like coming to Iloveiphone.com and complaining about iphone and it's users.
But getting back to your point, wow it's really rare case that you go through so many phones. I had mogul for 2 years and never had it replaced once, diamond once and 0 for touch pro. Like someone else mentioned, everyone has different experiences with the phones because they have their own opinions and preference. Maybe you are stronger then you think you are
My wife has pre now and she had to get it replaced once because she dropped it and screen was acting up afterward but I think the overall build quality on that phone was great as well. Never had a problem with HTC build before either.
Palm OS, I really like it because it's very intuitive and refreshing and easy learning curves. Lack of apps and cramped up keys are down side for me on this awesome OS and phone.
WinMo - customizable roms can entertain you for LONG time.
Andriod - Endless possibility.
You choose what you want, find out things for yourself. For me, at the moment, am very interested in Hero and android os so I'm on this ship coming from WinMo OS.
