I also bought mine the first day it dropped at BB.

1. The call quality (not reception) is one of the best I have ever used on a phone.

2. It's clearly faster than the Diamond I used for 2 weeks.

3. Battery life is not the greatest, but it will get me through about a day and a half. \

4. Keyboard is perfect except that the backlight doesn't stay on, and I can't find a way to force keyboard back light to stay on. Keyboard is just rock solid.

You may just have a bad unit. Just to replace it and see how you like it.
