You hit the nail on the head buddy. The reason iPhones & Blackberries & Android phones are so popular is that they just work, with little to no effort or thought required by the user. Back in '07 I worked for a 3rd party sprint store & one regular customer bought a Moto Q. She brought it back a week later, activated but still in the box. She said it was too hard to use, she didn't wanna read themanual, and it had been sitting in the box all week. She told us that her family was worried about her because she wasn't answering their calls. I took the phone back & set her up with the most basic, idiot-proof flip phone we had. Idiot.

I personally like the challenge of a PPC phone. It's fun to mod it & push it to its limits. Who the hell wants a generic, cookie-cutter phone with limited options? Not I.
