I HIGHLY doubt HTC would recall the devices.

They already spent a load of money the first time, and they were already having a profit cut just by releasing the phone in the Western market [they make more money in asia]

There is no reason they'd fix their mistakes unless someone has lit a fire under their a$$

I'm in the Sprint store right now, getting mine looked at (will probably get my 6th phone..)

edit: whoa, that was weird. I was showing the phone to an employee, and the screen seemed to "pop." All the sudden my A key started working a lot better... of COURSE... right when you bring it in, it has to start working better..

Guess I'll play with it some more. They guy said I should expect "all" touchscreens to be less-sensitive around the edges. Including the Instinct.

Weird--because none of my other touchscreen phones, or devices have ever had this problem. You would think it would be a major problem to manufacture a screen that is not evenly sensitive.. oh well, I'll see what happens, since that was really bothering me. The keys were not working very reliable on the SIP..

it makes perfect sense by physics actually. Think about a piece of clear plastic (the ones items in say Best Buy are put in, blister pack i believe its called). Its more flexible at the middle and more rigid on the edges where theres more support. Its simple physics really think about it, it makes perfect sense that the plastic covering the screen is more flexible in the middle making it more touch sensative than the edges

Oh, I undertand fully why this is happening, but what I don't understand is how HTC could **** up that bad during the design/manufacturing stages...

The original Touch did not do this. The 6700/mogul did not do this. No PDA I have owned has does this. The touchscreen I bought for my carputer did not do this. My TomTom does not do this. The list goes on. This is the only device I have ever used that has had this issue. Does the Instinct really have this problem? I have played with more than a few Treos and I never noticed it there, either. I had a few ipaq PDA's and they sure didn't have this phenomenon either...

Wanna know why?
The screens weren't flush.

Wow, there is no way I would own anything that I needed to exchange 6 times. Especially when there are so many other options. Why do you continue to punish yourself?

For Sprint, there really aren't any other options for me. The only other options, really, are the Xperia X1 and the iPhone 3G. I need quick text entry, with Exchange support. I can't do the tiny blackberry-like keys, and I'm tired of the slow entry (with ANY SIP) on my original Touch. The Mogul has crippled memory, and I can't think of anything that has a great keyboard that is not enormously-crippled in some way.
