Agree. Using the Titan I am reminded of nothing so much as the old Win98 days. I used to run something like a 433 mhz PC with Win98 back in the day. It did pretty much anything you could do on a PC back then (games, web, office stuff, watching videos, doing audio editing, etc.) but every so often it needed a reboot or some third party app to work. Not everything was included in the OS. Still, for the cost and what I got out of it, that was a great computer at the time.

I look at this in much the same way. I can do just about everything that can be done on a phone or mobile device with the Titan. It just needs to be rebooted every now and then to reclaim memory and some things require 3rd party software to work.

I'm not saying I don't want an all-in-one do-everything device out of the box with no bugs but as somebody who has been working with all kinds of consumer electronics since the 1980's, I'm well aware of what you can expect when companies are trying to balance profit with performance. They will only invest so much time and money into making something perfect before it is no longer profitable. That's why there are independent programmers and hacking communities out there to tweak the things that Commodore or Tandy or Microsoft or Palm or Apple or whoever didn't do right the first time.

Hey all, I just got e-care to replace my mogul (which i could not stand after one month) for a blackberry pearl and give me a $100 credit on my account, and there even letting me start my 30-day risk free garuntee again...just in case the pearl doesn't work for me...Sprint E-care (email) is a great help, it's just the over-the-phone service that sucks.

Hey there,
Sounds like a pretty good experience indeed. How many people did you have to kill to get that kind of resepect? Don't know how you pulled it off but hey, great job.
Now.. If you wouldn't mind for others that may want to make the same switch, can you please comment on my review and see if it was just two devices and not every device that suffers from that problem(s)?
I am really glad you have that 30 days to trial it out, you'll need that in my opinion. But, I'd be glad to hear your results and if you find the device to be somewhat crawling in speed and controls very hard to use.
