Instinct Vs. Pro

Has anyone upgraded from Instinct? How does it compare? Has anyone switched from Pro to Instinct?

I'm EXTREMELY disappointed in this $400 phone. Most of the reasons have already been stated, but it's just incredibly bad.
  • Heat Issue
  • NOT touch friendly
  • Gap between keyboard and screen
  • Slower response than you'd expect (screen and programs)
  • Regular lock-ups
  • Constant program errors and crashes
  • Buttons stick up/aren't flush with body
  • Music and Video skip
  • Useless TouchFLO 3D in landscape
  • Lack of 'OK' button on keyboard
  • Not being able to easily add/sync favorites in Opera, and favorites browsing sucking.
There are probably more, but these are the ones that annoy me the most.

I went in today and spent about an hour while they checked my phone out, then hard reset and ordered a replacement. They told me that if the hard reset didn't fix the heat and locking up issues that I could back in a few days and pick up the replacement (which he said would be a refurb). I had a 6700 for about 3 years and was very happy with it, while I've had this for about 4 months and can't stand it.

Wow, didn't expect my post to turn into that... but those are the reasons I'm considering switching to an Instinct.
