I can't wait to check out the Xperia X1 tomorrow. For some reason, it REAALLLY bothers me that I can barely use the edges of the on-screen keyboard. Hitting the A is really tough, for me. Why have such a nice screen to only manufacture it so poorly? oh well  |
No Scrap i agree with you, i went through 4 Pro's the first 2 weeks it was out and then told myself its just not worth it. My Diamond i had since its release date was flawless out of the box and the Pro build quality seems much poorer.
I agree its sad that people have lowered their expectations from something that costs almost $600. You wouldnt accept a car with major defects so people shouldnt accept it in expensive electronics either. There is bound to be a few snafus but there are MAN widespread issues with the Pro in manufacturing and build quality.
The screen ill agree is something you just have to get used to because of the technology and the flush screen vs one with edges like the older models (it does make a difference with the layer of plastic to sensitivity). BUT other true defects like dpads, poor earpieces, chrome flaking, loose sliders, etc are unacceptable for something you spend a lot of your hard earned money on.
At some point you have to say to yourself if its worth your time and aggravation and driving to Sprint stores no matter how great a device it may be. I have no clue how some people justify finding time to bring theirs in for a swap once every few weeks or what not, I have a career and other things to worry about first. My Diamond was flawless so i stuck with that, be it HTC still, but i spoke with my wallet and did not purchase a Pro after going through 4.
