I just swapped out out my PRO I got the day before best buy was selling them.
I hard reset many times, reg hacked, soft reset and clicked my heels three times and said "I know theres a good phone".
The issues I was having were:
1)Internet would stop working and not start back up again even though the data connection was on. I demonstated this in the store to the reps as well.
I would have to stop and start the data connection the start the browser or youtube or whatever I was using again.. Every 2 minutes or so.
2)Screen sensitive issues on the edges. Not a big deal but annoying when using the scroll bars.
3)Phone would not answer phone call when using screen or buttons. It would only answer when the person would call back a second time. I did screen alignment many times. It didnt help.
4)Phone would turn off when on charger, and then not start back up.
This caused missed alarms, messages and calls.
I use this phone as an alarm when travelling.
5)Speaker volume ! It was really horrible before. it's pretty good now. Tolerable I should say. It's not muffled like the last one.
6)D-Pad was flimsy on the old one. It would crackle and make noises. The new one is solid.
7) The phone came with GSensor already installed on it. It worked good right out of the box.
Weird noises on the callers end when I would answer. This is gone now.
9) Squeek battery cover. This is also gone and no longer an issue.

So all in all I think HTC may have started putting out a different batch of phones. I am happy for now and as long as this phone continues to work as it should. I wouldnt normally post a new thread on something like this, but thought maybe there are some other individuals as frustrated as I was that I paid all that money for a phone that wont answer calls on the first call.
