As far as tweaking devices, I can honestly say I am bored out of my mind with doing so. I want a phone that works great and continues to work great after several months of usage. I dont want to have to keep checking my phone- as I did with the Mogul and now with the Touch- just to make sure I havent missed a call cause the damned thing wont wake up.

I dont have a clue what my next phone will be; but right now, I am not feeling the WM6 love.

I'll agree.. the titan does have it's flaws.. and I'm also rapidly burning out on tweaking the device to get it to achieve it's intended capabilities... but the iphone and touch had some basic deficiencies that I couldn't stand dealing with on a daily basis.. primarily a lack of a qwerty keyboard... I sent 6 text messages on my touch and used it for half a day before I decided I was done with it.. I loved my 6700 from the first moment I touched it (the titan took a little whileto love, but mostly because of the things they changed from the 6700 to the 6800.. now I go nuts using a 6700)..

As for the non-ringing issue.. I've heard a lot of people talk about it, but never really experienced it. On occasion It'll only ring once or twice before going to VM, and I've had a few phantom missed calls, but I've had that problem with every phone I've ever owned and every carrier I've ever used... I haven't noticed that the WM devices are any more prone to it than a standard cellular handset.

The truth of the matter is, the perfect device doesn't exist... my thought is that the tilt is the closest thing to perfect, but even it has major driver issues... Ultimately, there's nothing out there that I think is better than my titan.
