7. I have to load a file to hear people talking to me on the phone. Come on it's a phone!!!! Htc needs to recall and re issue new phones to people with this problem.
I just think that a lot of people got a pretty good deal on these phones and because it's the biggest newest thing people are dealing with it and just talking themselves into believing that it's just ok that the build quality sucks.

This isn't a bash, so take it easy with my comments.
But I think answering these should help a few others with their pain.
The slider is loose. Yes. It sucks! It's not really bad though. The slide action is fairly nice. Yes, the volume buttons are disappointing. HTC should have done better. But this could be part of the design. I've broke the slide on my last mogul. It still works fine, but slides funny now.
Charger cable issue.
I do not know why you are upset about this! They finally included a cable with this phone that has the correct USB connection on the end!!!!!!!
I'm so friggen happy about that. I hate adapters. HATE HATE HATE. I ruined data connections from all the plugging and unplugging I did with my mogul. This one fits in firm and tight. So nice, as a fact, that i usually unplug from the computer instead of the phone now when things mess up with whatever i'm doing, usually active sync being lame.
The reason they did it the way they did is because the style charger they sent was probably easier to make then a seperate one with the correct connection on it.
Just do what I do, I use my old MOGUL adapter, and plug it on a standard USB charger, that way your not dorking up anything if the connection isn't fitting well into the phone. =)
I carry my TP charger in the briefcase, it doesnt' clutter things up like a normal one.
and for volume.
I've noticed every phone i've talked on except a nextel is never loud enough. All my motorola flips from nextel were quite louder.
IMO for speaker volume on ALL phones is that I shoudln't have to always use MAX volume for calls. I think that somewhere in mediumville should be plenty loud, then if i get a quiet call i can still kick it up a notch.
So, dont complain about something that is bad on all phones.
Yes, HTC should fix it. But you can easily fix this problem on the user end with hacks. You shouldn't have to, but some things are better left in the hands of private developers who have more time and expereince then these people shucking out these phones.
