I tried EVERY tweak imaginary Trust me, I wanted this thing to work.

I could have lived with the crappy earpiece, the crappy speaker, and the uneven touchscreen, but I cannot, from a usability perspective, keep a phone that refuses to charge during a phone call. I make many multi-hour phone calls a week, and this thing either dies completely, or nearly dies during the phone call. Seems that many people (even non-BB stock,) are having this issue.

When I played with one at the Sprint store, the screen was significantly better, but still took about twice the pressure to get the outer areas to respond, (like the OK or START--same with the soft keys.)

Basically, I am waiting until I start hearing much more success stories with the TP, before I get stuck in a 2-year with a buggy phone.

I am humoring the idea of switching carriers, because now that I have a taste of a phone LIKE the TP, I would almost be willing to go to AT&T so I can run unlocked phones like the iMate Ultimate 9502, or the HP ipaq phones that are coming out....
