I completely mean that in the nicest of ways.
Actually, what he said is true (if I like it), because I am a businessman in my 50's, and Office functions are far more important to me than things that may be important to others. I never use my phones for games (well, Teeter is fun once in a while), and it's hard to impress me with the "gee whiz" factor if it doesn't do the daily functions that I need it to do. The TP2 did those pretty well, but the instability at times, crashing, extremely long re-boot times, etc., are taking their toll on me.

That's not to say I don't like and appreciate some of the cool features, but it simply simply that I have my eyes wide open. I have no problem with criticizing it's flaws, and I feel there are some, like the lack of Send and End buttons, physical keyboard, etc. Only time spent using it will tell me if I feel those things are deal-breakers. I won't gloss over the flaws because "I'm in love with it", basically becoming a fanboy. You need to pick a wife the same way - eyes wide open, honest appraisal of the situation. I did that, and have been married over 25 years. At least with the phone, I can change my mind, and have no doubt this won't be the best, and hence last, phone that I will ever own. The decision I hope to make by buying this unit is whether or not I want to use it even for a year or so.
