Off the subject, anyway us geeks/power users can limp by happier than before for a week or so without modding anything with this phone and that says alot, I've had mine for about a week and haven't been on PPCGeeks in that time so I've been ecstatic about this phone. The size difference and increase in hardware & system functionality are tremendous and I haven't had any error messages or had to reset once, a soft reset was necessary 3-4 times a day at moderate use with the 700wx after making a few adjustments from a hard reset. HTC gets two thumbs-up from me and Sprint gets a pat on the back for now. Of course we are all going to customize and tweak to our own liking but I think most of us won't necessarily need anything more than freeware and the great minds here on this forum. I did have battery issues the first day of use but I think that may have been from insufficient charge or leaving an app. running...all we need now is an extended battery for the CDMA version without going to a bigger back cover.

Yes, I completely felt the same way, just after using it for a few minutes in the store. HTC and Sprint really have done a great job, and I think more is deserved than a "pat on the back" for Sprint. Look at what ATT and Verizon did to their phone... They deserve a SMACK on their back, just to see what kind of ludicris excuses they'll have come out, for what they were thinking when they made theirs the way they did.
