I'll admit if the darn thing worked as advertised I'd be a happy clam, but the level of frustration is making me feel like jumping ship just to spite them. And I don't say that lightly! I have been with Sprint for 12 years or so and have 5 lines of service plus a data card. I love the data card and would keep it, and most of my employees phones are fine. But I just can't seem to get a working phone that fits my needs and or works at the same time.

Have you visited the threads with all the "TouchPro Essentials"...there's a battery hack there that helps with batt life. The heat issue is something that all of us are experiencing. That seems to be a hardward issue across the board. As for the not charging due to the heat...it was mentioned in the forum as a safety feature built into these batteries so it doesn't explode. There are a couple of things that can be done if you're into a work around...keep the keyboard slid out and keeping the stylus out of the slot during rechrge will help dissipate the heat. I keep mine in direct line of fire of my laptop cooling fan. I got over my frustrations and dealt with the issues...but if it IS such a "deal breaker" for you...I'd say move on...but these issues you're having is across the board. Oh, the battery...turn off the email push...or lengthen the amount of time before it checks the network for new mail...I keep my bluetooth turned off unless I need it...all these things will help
